American Transmission Co. is planning $2.5 billion in power line projects over the next 10 years, down slightly from the $2.7 billion forecast a year ago.
But the need to build new high-voltage power lines to import renewable power generated in the Dakotas and other windy states could boost the company’s investment, ATC said.
“While the cost estimate in our 2009 assessment is slightly less than the $2.7 billion identified in last year’s report, our 10-year capital spending may need to be increased because of increased focus on regional transmission support to …

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(Business Wire)–
Methode Power Solutions Group announces an innovative new class of patent
pending power connectors named “PowerBud”TM that successfully overcomes key
limitations of conventional power connectors. The PowerBud technology lowers
both contact resistance and contact normal force without increasing connector
size, a feat that counters conventional wisdom. The resulting connectors exhibit
lower insertion force, lower temperature rise, lower power loss and higher cycle
life than conventional high current connectors.
The PowerBud connector is initially available in a single-contact form called
the EBC (Embedded PowerBud Connector), with knurled outer side walls allowing
direct press-fit insertion into busbars, printed …
