00:06Hi everyone and welcome on Secret TV with our new guest for a new interview and this is David Chiesa.
00:12Hello.
00:13Hi, thank you.
00:14Thank you for being with us. You are from CTC Global. We are happy to be with you today.
00:20Can you please introduce yourself and tell us about your role at CTC Global, please?
00:25Sure. My name is David Chiesa. I'm located in Irvine, California and I'm our head of global sales for CTC
00:33Global.
00:34We've got five manufacturing facilities around the world. We deal with over 260 utilities from 60 countries.
00:42So, kind of extensive global experience.
00:45And what products and services are you showcasing here at the Siegfried Paris Session 2024 that are helping revolutionize the
00:53electric power grid?
00:54So, we manufacture and distribute in an advanced conductor.
00:59So, what an advanced conductor does is it helps spur the creation of capacity on the transmission grid.
01:07So, with all the changes that we've seen around electrification and EVs and battery energy storage,
01:14the need for more capacity on the transmission grid is greater than ever.
01:17So, CTC through this advanced conductor allows you to take an existing legacy conductor, replace it with one of the
01:25exact same size, same weight, same dimensions, and yet it doubles the capacity.
01:31And so, you can actually double the capacity in a very short period of time.
01:35So, rather than five to seven years what the normal timeline is for a new line, you can take an
01:41existing line and upgrade it in 18 months or less at twice the capacity with very little additional cost.
01:47And to finish, in your opinion, what are the benefits, the advantages of being here to participate at the Siegfried
01:55Paris Session?
01:56Well, I mean, Siegfried is the world's engineering show, right? All of the best engineers in the world are right
02:02here.
02:03And so, you have an incredible opportunity to reach an amazing variety of engineers and decision makers around the world.
02:10So, if you want to make a difference on the utility grid or in the transmission business…
02:16You have to be here.
02:17You've got to be here. This is the place to be.
02:20Thank you very much, David. And have a good session here in Paris.
02:23Thank you, Fanny. I appreciate it.
