As electricity demand surges across the American Midwest, the pressure on aging transmission infrastructure is becoming impossible to ignore. With increasing timelines and costs of building new lines, utilities are unlocking capacity in new ways.
Most utilities are curious about Dynamic Line Rating. Far fewer have actually deployed it.The gap between those two groups isn't usually a technology problem. It's a momentum problem — the challenge of moving from "we should explore this" to "we have sensors in the ground and data flowing."
On March 12, 2026, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) unveiled a $1.9 billion funding opportunity designed not just to modernize transmission infrastructure, but to do it on an accelerated timeline that’s already forcing utilities to shift gears.

The fourth remains unused. So it is with our […]
Increasing the capacity in electric grids usually means costly upgrades or building new lines. New technology can however show that the capacity of the grids we already have may be significantly higher than we think. To uncover and make use of this additional capacity is relatively cheap compared to building grids, and the benefits are […]
First published in E24 on May 2, 2021. The electrical power system is the world’s largest piece of machinery – one that you are part of every time you plug something into a socket, whether it is a hair dryer or an electric car. This machine is in need of digitization. It has been 120 […]
Installing a live electrical wire is a costly and complicated operation, often involving helicopters and power shutdowns. But that’s not the case with the Neuron from Heimdall Power. Easier, faster and cheaper Mads Bornebusch has his eyes fixed on the sky, both metaphorically and literally. He’s responsible for the drone program at Heimdall Power and […]
With its minimalistic design, a silver sphere about the size of a soccer ball, the Neuron looks almost like something out of a science fiction movie. But there’s nothing fictional about its potential to transform the future of Norway’s power grid. That’s pure science. A speed sign for the power grid “In the future, variable […]
The power lines connecting Gjøvik and Dokka are among the most important connections for transporting hydro power from the region to the national power grid. A pilot for the future “We’re currently implementing a pilot project in collaboration with Elvia to digitize a 132 kV power line between Gjøvik and Dokka,” explains Ann Charlotte Valheim, […]
We are excited and delighted that Tensio is expanding their use of Heimdall Power services to monitor vital overhead power lines in their region. The 2nd largest Distribution System Operator (DSO) in Norway, Tensio, have just installed new neurons to monitor their 10th high voltage line, using neurons from Heimdall Power. The lines instrumented at this stage […]
The Swiss TSO, Swissgrid, is carrying out installation work on the 220kV high-voltage lines in Handeck – Innertkirchen in March 2021. The Norwegian company Heimdall Power is providing sophisticated sensor units (neurons) which are installed on the conductors using a helicopter. The neurons measure a wide range of relevant values for the conductors without using […]
Saga Pure ASA (Saga, OSE: SAGA) has entered into an agreement to invest NOK 75 million in Heimdall Power AS (Heimdall Power), to help accelerate the company’s growth strategy. Heimdall Power provides digital solutions for efficient power grid monitoring and operations. Saga Pure will hold 16,5 percent of the company following the transaction, and will […]
Heimdall Power is now teaming up with yet another Norwegian DSO, this time in a new area of Norway. We are happy to welcome Lyse Elnett as a new Heimdall Power customer! They will utilize the Heimdall Power Neurons, along with our Heimdall Cloud software to enhance their grid. Lyse Elnett is one of the […]
Several sensor units (neurons) will be placed all over Austria to detect and predict icing events. APG will analyze the collected data, to further increase security of supply. Austrian Power Grid (APG), the operator of the high-voltage transmission network in Austria, has based on thorough evaluation of providers selected the Norwegian company Heimdall Power for […]
