Smart Wires helps utilities and transmission operators solve urgent grid reliability and capacity challenges by getting more from the infrastructure they already have.
Our grid-enhancing technologies and services provide a faster, lower-cost path to connect new loads and generation, reduce congestion, strengthen reliability, and improve system performance while longer-term infrastructure is planned and built.
SmartValveā¢, our advanced power flow control solution, gives grid operators direct, controllable influence over how power moves across transmission networks, unlocking firm capacity from existing infrastructure. SUMO and our analytics services complement SmartValve deployments and can also support utilities independently with dynamic line rating, system planning, and interconnection needs.
With more than a decade of deployment experience, Smart Wires has delivered more than 5 GW of firm, controllable capacity globally. Our technology operates on more than 40 transmission circuits across 15+ countries and four continents.
Headquartered in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, our global team partners with utilities and transmission owners to deliver flexible, proven solutions that perform under real-world grid conditions and continue creating value as network needs evolve.
