BOLD® is constantly active raising awareness of the technology with new projects breaking ground.
BOLD technology is now at work on real world transmission lines. AEP’s Robison Park-Sorenson line was energized in November 2016 near Ft. Wayne, Indiana, using a hybrid double-circuit 345-kV/138-kV BOLD line. A second line will be energized in summer 2017 and several others are in planning.
BOLD is innovative and attractive, and you don’t have to just take our word for that. A number of industry associations found BOLD to have both a winning design and technology.
For the second year in a row, AEP Transmission has won the prestigious Edison Award presented by the Edison Electric Institute (EEI).
To take the top prize, BOLD beat out 26 other tower designs from around the world for its practical and environmentally friendly design, blending both performance and aesthetics.
On November 15th, the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) presented BOLD with its 2017 Utility Industry Innovation in Electricity award.
