TS Conductor manufactures high-performance electric conductors based on Aluminum Encapsulated Carbon Core (AECC) technology, deployable for reconductoring and new-build projects to expand grid capacity and enhance reliability. The company’s TS Conductor can leverage existing infrastructure and is suitable for projects that increase transmission capacity. TS Conductor’s ISO-certified Southern California facility is operating at near-full capacity, and the company is considering increasing that facility’s output in the near term. The recently raised funds will primarily support opening a second U.S. production facility east of the Mississippi River to meet strong customer demand. Utilities across North America, including Montana‑Dakota Utilities Company, Arizona Public Service, and the Tennessee Valley Authority, have already deployed TS technology. The company is led by CEO Jason Huang, PhD. TS Conductor produces a new class of overhead conductors that combine a carbon composite core with aluminum encapsulation to improve capacity and efficiency while remaining compatible with ACSR installation tools and field practices. The conductors can double the capacity of existing lines, cut technical line losses roughly in half, and enable insulation upgrades that reduce wildfire risk without retrofitting structures. The company positions its product as a deployable, lower-cost alternative for reconductoring, energy-efficiency upgrades, and new lines with lower structure costs. TS Conductor is a Minority Business Enterprise and a public benefit company focused on sustainable development and GHG reduction. The company was accepted into the first cohort of Third Derivative, a climate-tech accelerator founded by Rocky Mountain Institute and New Energy Nexus. With the announced financing, TS Conductor plans to build its first state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in the United States.
