South Korea is launching a pilot project to increase power transmission capacity seasonally based on temperatures, aiming to reduce renewable energy output control and improve grid efficiency. The project will test dynamic line rating methods in specific regions over one year, with plans to expand based on findings.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
You've got a clear opening to optimise power grid usage by tying transmission limits to actual seasonal temperatures, cutting renewables curtailment. Act on this by tracking the pilot’s results to pitch more flexible grid solutions in South Korea or similar markets.
