  • AI software claims hidden grid capacity could ease America's growing electricity shortage
  • GridCARE says simulations reveal unused transmission capacity across existing power infrastructure
  • Existing transmission lines may hold far more capacity than previously estimated

A new software platform claims it can unlock roughly 300 gigawatts of hidden electrical transmission capacity across the existing United States power grid within three to five years.

The technology, developed by GridCARE and led by founder and CEO Amit Narayan, relies on advanced grid modelling rather than costly new infrastructure.

Instead of building additional transmission lines or substations, the platform analyzes how the grid actually operates in real time.

The US power grid has traditionally been planned around conservative assumptions that account for multiple simultaneous equipment failures at once.

This approach has left substantial portions of the transmission network underused for most of the calendar year, while electricity demand has resumed growing sharply, and grid...
