Ampjack Industries Ltd. ("Ampjack") is proud to announce the launch of ExoGrid, an innovative and eco-friendly solution designed to address the critical challenges facing the power industry as it transitions to a future powered by clean energy. With the Department of Energy predicting a 57% increase in transmission capacity and a 120% boost in interregional transfer capacity by 2035, the need for efficient and sustainable grid upgrades has never been more urgent.
ExoGrid offers a revolutionary approach to increasing grid capacity without the need for extensive new right-of-way acquisitions. By utilizing existing infrastructure, ExoGrid minimizes environmental disruption, preserves natural habitats, and reduces carbon emissions, all while delivering significant cost savings and faster project completion times.
"Our mission with ExoGrid is to provide a sustainable, cost-effective, and efficient solution for the power industry," said Luke Chaput, President of Ampjack Industries Ltd. "ExoGrid enables us to expand transmission capacity in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods, with minimal environmental impact and reduced regulatory hurdles."
Nathan Stahl, Vice President of Engineering at Ampjack, added, "ExoGrid is not just a technological advancement; it's a comprehensive process that includes line analysis, phase configuration studies, foundation analysis, and conductor selection. This ensures that every upgrade is optimized for maximum efficiency and minimal disruption. Our innovative approach allows us to build new towers over existing ones, often reducing construction timelines and improving service reliability."
