Assetcool, a United Kingdom-based startup founded in 2016, is on a mission to significantly reduce the cost of enhancing the capacity of overhead power lines, aiming for reductions as much as 95%
The company focuses on the development of specialized Photonic Coatings and semi-autonomous systems known for increasing the capacity of overhead power lines by up to 30%. Their signature product, the SE0-N photonic coating, achieves this through a combination of solar reflectivity and heat dissipation. The result is cooler conductors, which not only reduce power losses but also allow for a higher current-carrying capacity.
Assetcool also boasts the CAPACITY-N Robotic System, a cutting-edge technology that applies these coatings directly to conductors, further enhancing capacity without necessitating reconductoring. With proven reduction in losses by up to 10%, the technology offers substantial economic benefits.
Backed by over four years of field data and robust manufacturing practices, Assetcool recently secured a €11.50M Series A investment from esteemed partners like Extantia, Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund, and Energy Impact Partners (EIP).
