<p>VEIR&rsquo;s new generation of superconducting electric transmission lines operate with negligible losses at much higher currents than conventional lines and other advanced conductors. The result is transmission of 5-10x more power than conventional lines at a given voltage level. VEIR reduces the space needed to transmit power, maximizes the transfer capabilities in existing corridors, and reduces requirements for new corridors.</p>
