Camber Energy announces test results for wildfire mitigation technology

Camber Energy announced the conclusion of critical independent testing of its Broken Conductor Protection Technology for Electric Transmission Systems. The comprehensive testing, which included over fifty real-time-digital-simulations of broken conductors using varying voltage levels at different points of a transmission line, demonstrated the reliability and effectiveness of Camber’s technology in de-energizing a broken conductor before it contacts the ground or a grounded structure, thereby preventing the conductor from being a source of ignition or a danger to life and property. This testing was coordinated by Bridge View Resources and conducted at a laboratory of a nationally-recognized engineering firm that specializes in complex and diverse electrical transmission and distribution projects for investor-owned utilities, municipalities, rural cooperatives, and industrial clients. According to the JEC Democratic Majority’s analysis published in October, 2023, the total annual economic burden of wildfires in the United States is between $394 billion and $893 billion in damages annually, which is equivalent to between 2-4% of U.S. GDP. Solutions like Camber’s broken conductor protection technology can assist with lowering this burden and, most importantly, increase public safety. Technology owned by majority-owned subsidiaries of Camber is designed to be an integral component within existing grid protection systems, improving resiliency and reliability, eliminating the need for Public Safety Power Shutdown Programs, and significantly reducing the risk of fires and improving public safety.
