CTC Global and ENICAB Announce ACCC® Conductor Manufacturing Partnership

CTC Global is pleased to announce a partnership with Algerian based company, ENICAB, to manufacture ACCC® Conductors to support the expansion, improved efficiency, and decarbonization of the electrical power grid in Algeria.

A ceremony was held where both parties signed the partnership agreement. U.S. Ambassador to Algeria, Elizabeth Aubin, presided over the signing ceremony and remarked: “We are happy that, through this agreement, a U.S. company will support not only the expansion of the electrical power grid, but also its decarbonization as envisaged by the government of Algeria.”

In addition to ENICAB’s participants, CTC Global had representatives Steve Jackman and Djamel Zerari in attendance. CTC Global’s Senior Vice President of Business Development, Steve Jackman stated, “ENICAB is a trusted and reliable partner in Africa, and its industry leadership in Algeria will ensure that the benefits of this technology will have the maximum reach possible. This partnership will also accelerate the growth strategy of ENICAB in the market of high efficiency and high-capacity conductors.”

Benefits of ACCC® Conductors include improved efficiency, capacity and reliability while helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions and conserving Algeria’s precious water resources at their thermal power plants. The application of ACCC® Conductors will also accelerate the integration of renewable generation from solar and wind sources into the national power system. This will ultimately enable Algeria to export excess electricity to the wider Mediterranean.

Dashiell Completes ACCC® Upgrade in Texas

Using more than 33,000 feet of Lapwing size ACCC® Conductor manufactured by Prysmian / General Cable, and supplied through KBS Electrical Distributors, Dashiell completed their 138 kV double circuit ACCC® Reconductor project for an industrial customer in Texas City, Texas.

Dashiell selected Lapwing size ACCC® Conductor for its high-strength, high-capacity and low-sag, to ensure reliability at the industrial facility. The installation company, Dacon, completed the reconductor project using ACCC® Hardware provided by AFL. CTC Global’s Master Installer Bill Percy was on site to assist when the project began. Texas City is a city in Galveston County in the U.S. state of Texas. Located on the southwest shoreline of Galveston Bay, Texas City is a busy deep-water port on Texas's Gulf Coast, as well as a petroleum-refining and petrochemical-manufacturing center.
