While weโre thrilled to see renewed investment in clean energy production in the past year from the IRA, itโs time for an equal investment in transmission if the clean energy transition is to become reality. Read more from The Associated Press: tinyurl.com/mr48d3zw



VEIR works every day to rapidly accelerate the growth in electric transmission capacity necessary for global decarbonization and grid resilience. As Climate Connections published, grid capacity must increase to achieve our climate goals. Read the full piece here: tinyurl.com/2rmer4ru


During the 20th anniversary of the historic blackout in the US/Canada, itโs interesting to go back and read how Scientific American analyzed it. Their central point remains true today: avoiding blackouts requires investment in new transmission solutions. Read more: tinyurl.com/kkyx2n9p

This week, VEIR will be crossing the pond to attend European Society for Applied Superconductivity European Conference on Applied Superconductivity in Bologna, Italy. We look forward to exchanging learnings on superconductivity and making connections. View the agenda here: eucas2023.esas.org

VEIR VP for Commercial Stephen Conant will be a participating speaker at the upcoming @DarcyPartners Live Event on HTS and the energy transition on Sept. 7 alongside VISION ELECTRIC Super Conductors and Theva. Learn more about the presentation here: tinyurl.com/5c3dbphm


Thanks to @DarcyPartners for hosting a recent panel with VEIR, VISION ELECTRIC Super Conductors and Theva to further our understanding of "electron superhighways," HTS. Read more about the panel here: tinyurl.com/5c3dbphm


When it comes to new transmission in the U.S., Grid Strategies President Rob Gramlich said it best: "The fact that 10 projects are moving into construction is good news. [...But] it's only a tiny fraction of what we really need." Read more Canary Media tinyurl.com/y5dpx8bf

Thank you Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA) and Solar and Storage Industry for putting on an impactful RE+ Events 2023. We feel empowered to watch this industry come together to innovate toward a clean-energy future.


In a report from S&P Global, it is clear that investment in the energy sector is mismatched. An uptick in transmission and storage investments are needed to avoid integration bottleneck. Read more here: spglobal.com/en/research-inโฆ




We are honored to announce our nomination for the tech category in the #NEVYs23 by The New England Venture Capital Association! It is a testament to the work of the entire VEIR team as we look to transform electric power transmission. Join us Dec. 7 at Citizens House of Blues Boston to see if we win: thenevys.com


2023 brought historic momentum for clean energy innovation around the world. But there is still more to be done. Breakthrough Energy Founder Bill Gates shares what we have accomplished and the work ahead in Breakthrough Energy's 2023 State of the Transition report. breakthroughenergy.org/news/bill-gateโฆ

Renewable #energy is only as good as the system to deliver it. The introduction of #CETA by Rep. Sean Casten and Mike Levin aims to improve todayโs grid through enhanced transmission โ including the use of #superconductors. Read more about the new legislation: casten.house.gov/media/press-reโฆ
