AEP BOLD Transmission

In an era of regulatory changes, evolving sources of power generation, and replacement of an aging infrastructure, American Electric Power (AEP) has developed a revolutionary new compact line design for the electric power transmission market.Employing hot-dip galvanized steel structures, the high-capacity, high efficiency design represents the next generation of transmission line. The Breakthrough Overhead Line Design (BOLD) has an aesthetic, crescent-shaped crossarm with a compact conductor configuration that boosts capacity and challenges traditional technologies.

Employing hot-dip galvanized steel structures, the high-capacity, high efficiency design represents the next generation of transmission line.

The innovative design marries form and function, delivering more power with a lower structure and using less right-of-way. BOLD addresses the needs of stakeholders with the most innovative electric transmission technology in more than 35 years.
