Smart Wires Snapshot
Our Culture:
We are passionate about creating a culture that empowers our team members to make good decisions, based on three key values:
Humility - We’re genuine people, we’re proud of what we do and we care about how we do it. Having humility allows us to listen, learn and improve. We seek diverse perspectives and value collaboration. Above all, we are team players, supporting and trusting each other.
Focus – We are laser-focused on creating a meaningful, positive impact and real change for our customers, our industry, and the planet. This requires prioritization and essentialism to ensure we efficiently and effectively meet our commitments.
Transparency – Being authentic, candid, and open – with each other and with our suppliers, partners, and customers – is essential to long-term, mutually beneficial relationships. Acting with integrity and maintaining honest communication ensures that we are accountable, always improving, and deliver safe, high-quality solutions.
How We're Helping the Planet:
Smart Wires’ projects have a meaningful impact on climate change. By increasing the efficiency of existing electricity grids, Smart Wires can enable renewable generation to connect much faster and at a much lower cost than would otherwise be possible, speeding the global energy transition away from carbon-based fuels and towards cleaner, greener options.
Smart Wires can improve the feasibility of renewable projects – allowing development in resource-rich areas that otherwise would prove impossible due to grid integration challenges. By helping electric system operators adjust to the real-time needs of the system, Smart Wires solutions provide valuable system flexibility that means less curtailment of renewable resources in real-time.

Developing a Novel Power Flow Control Concept:
A quarter-century ago, the world’s best engineers recognized that power electronics would revolutionize the grid. Scientists at Westinghouse’s Power Electronics group and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) collaborated to introduce FACTSs (Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems) – a breakthrough for variable power flow control on electricity networks.
During the Northeast Blackout of 2003, with 55 million people across North America in the dark, a visionary team at Georgia Tech University sought to develop these ideas further. They soon established a smart power flow control concept, allowing grid operators to monitor and adjust power flows across their networks in real time.
This new technology marked a critical step forward in grid efficiency – and served as the catalyst for a new partnership among some of the US’s largest and most-respected utilities. These stakeholders saw that smart power flow control would allow far more flexibility on a rapidly-changing grid, and together, they launched Smart Wires.
