Referred to as the Dynamic Rating Enhancement Advancements and Modernization (DREAM) initiative, the collaboration between Eversource and Dartmouth Engineering will leverage grid-enhancing technologies to increase the capacity of the existing electric grid, enhance system resiliency, and help lower costs for customers.<\/p>\n<p>As developed by Eversource and Professor Junbo Zhao\u2019s team at Dartmouth, the DREAM initiative combines leading-edge research with utility expertise to advance practical solutions for the electric grid. By deploying dynamic line rating (DLR) technology across approximately 4,000 miles of Eversource&#8217;s transmission network in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire, the initiative will provide operators with enhanced real-time visibility into system conditions and enable more efficient use of existing infrastructure. It will also leverage thermal field sensing to provide on-the-ground measurements of actual conditions, advanced weather forecasting, digital analytical models and operational integration that supports the decision-making process for remote system operators \u2013 ultimately providing more real-time data that reflects actual operating conditions in order to maximize use of the existing transmission system.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        \n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n        <em>Inside Eversource\u2019s System Operations Center<\/em>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cWe greatly appreciate the Department of Energy&#8217;s investment in innovative solutions that can strengthen the New England electric grid and deliver significant reliability and affordability benefits to our customers,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Bill Quinlan, President of Transmission at Eversource<\/strong>. \u201cAs demand for electricity continues to grow, the DREAM initiative will help us maximize the capability of our existing transmission system \u2014 which importantly will also help keep costs as low as possible for customers. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with DOE and Dartmouth Engineering to demonstrate how advanced, state-of-the-art grid technologies can help meet the region&#8217;s evolving energy needs with an ever-present focus on affordability for our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExisting transmission lines can often carry more electricity than conventional ratings allow, but operators need reliable information about when that capacity is available and how to use it safely,\u201d said <strong>Junbo Zhao, Todd M. Cook and Elizabeth Donohoe Cook Associate Professor of Engineering at Dartmouth<\/strong>. \u201cDREAM brings together sensing, forecasting and digital twin analytics to turn that opportunity into practical tools for grid operations. Our partnership with Eversource offers an opportunity to move research into practice across an entire transmission network, helping deliver a more reliable and affordable electric grid for communities throughout New England.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNew England&#8217;s geography, climate, and growing energy demand make reliable power delivery especially challenging. By pairing Dartmouth&#8217;s advanced modeling with Eversource&#8217;s operational knowledge, we can get more out of existing transmission lines and improve energy security for our region. This is a perfect example of how innovation moves from our labs to real-world impact,\u201d said <strong>Douglas Van Citters, Dean and Professor, Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>By maximizing the capability of its existing transmission system, Eversource anticipates that \u2013 under specific conditions \u2013 the project could unlock additional transfer capability that may mitigate or delay the need to construct certain new transmission facilities. Such an approach is estimated to cost significantly less than what would be required to build equivalent new transmission infrastructure while also reducing congestion costs on constrained transmission corridors and creating additional value for customers.<\/p>\n<p>The partnership will continue as Eversource and Dartmouth Engineering will work with DOE through the award negotiation process to further develop and demonstrate how dynamic line rating technology can increase transmission capacity, strengthen reliability and support evolving energy demands across the region with an emphasis on affordability for customers. Pending successful negotiations and execution of a final award agreement, the award could represent approximately $47.7 million in funding for the initiative, which would be expected to begin in 2027. Eversource&#8217;s DREAM initiative was one of 31 projects selected across 26 states.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=e5TU9dFI84OtwE2h5RCn9NqwXfxJhH7Mqo9eiIgb17R9KAd9YqklDtJZGjmy3f09vULb5lt-_uxCc0FdjPODS-0f0vwJrzje3fYdrilR5obAQyS2bLMf9xNPgTcWHAOnXvzCCLCqTpFO29c5DRP6j7_7Fq1JxoKoGnnFWvqEvL7dyhrMBe6zt-_lbLyPi9spm48J8bFlM_xTnv5FAUoJHfztypdOyMpYUOL3zNR7YE0RaSpJsBjxRaqgqUxjheYkRZ7N53NX6sXsV9MZkhk8r4n6mY6iN-DUglF5VKcyQIY=\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">More information on the DOE\u2019s SPARK program is available here.<\/a>\n      <\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Eversource<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>\n        <em>Eversource (NYSE: ES), celebrated as a national leader for its commitment to sustainability and corporate citizenship, is named among America\u2019s Most Responsible Companies by <\/em><br \/>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=1xu1Ad4koXMxqkuAwjJH81Nz-p2Eo8pl4kpTMv1CvV18pMx1MYUTaPHiNxekiLS2-N4B2c4SVb8F81YKeZ1fygeSA0QFhcel9DF6BZiY6wnZfNW7auXuifgFXTkzdIRbWpnWZolepz2AbfTUCqdtyg==\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n          <em>Newsweek<\/em><br \/>\n        <\/a><br \/>\n        <em> for 2026 and recognized as the #1 utility on <\/em><br \/>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=1HQYpyul9jlueES2zb6XtPu53PIDimR9dYK6IAD0ODlbfC6WUQ2GaA4o4VJ6uRz1TRZDxCU8UwwDHEsvvHsABPIs28ziAmyRA6bdaDn4vG80dtfbPUBIvuUT35RllbR3dyLKdDN_IS1P6evOU2nJRNP7UBnJ_xigFv_fOzPshrgMFtbQg0_OHBvO3UVEzYi3\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n          <em>USA Today<\/em><br \/>\n        <\/a><br \/>\n        <em>\u2019s list of America\u2019s Climate Leaders for 2025.<\/em><br \/>\n        <em>Eversource is New Hampshire\u2019s largest electric utility, serving nearly 549,000 homes and businesses in 206 cities and towns.
