Power utilities, also known as electric utilities or electricity providers, play a vital role in modern society by supplying electrical energy to homes, businesses, and industries. These organizations are responsible for generating, transmitting, and distributing electricity across a given region or country.

Power utilities typically operate a complex infrastructure of power plants, transmission lines, substations, and distribution networks to ensure a reliable and continuous supply of electricity to consumers. They employ various energy sources, including fossil fuels, nuclear power, renewable energy, and increasingly, sustainable options like wind and solar. Power utilities also undertake maintenance and upgrades to infrastructure, invest in research and development, and actively manage the power grid to maintain stability and meet growing demand. As our reliance on electricity continues to grow, power utilities play a crucial role in delivering this essential resource for modern life.

The renewable energy industry has grown rapidly as companies increasingly recognize its potential to reduce emissions and cut costs. Solar and wind farms produce massive amounts of energy that can be directed to diverse industrial processes. However, to do so, renewable energy providers must build resilient infrastructures that can handle challenging environments and changing energy demands. The wire, cable, hardware and equipment all constitute a key part of that infrastructure for generating, transporting, and storing electricity.

AWG specializes in WIRE, CABLE, HARDWARE and EQUIPMENT solutions for wind, solar, EV, battery storage, and other renewable energy sectors. We have the nation’s largest inventory of wire and cable for the renewable energy markets and pride ourselves being able to deliver product in days, not weeks.

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) play a vital role in storing, distributing, and managing renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. These energy storage solutions ensure a stable power supply, capturing excess energy when production is at its highest and releasing it during times of peak demand.

The safety and performance of BESS depends on the quality of system components. Cabling, in particular, is essential for reliable and efficient energy transmission.

American Wire Group (AWG) provides a comprehensive selection of quality cable and other battery and renewable energy supplies designed for consistent performance over the long term. Learn more about BESS, the importance of cable quality in these systems, and how our BatteryGuard^®️ Copper DLO cable can support sustainable energy systems.
