Power Delivery Intelligence Initiative

Power Delivery Intelligence Initiative, or PDi2, is a working group whose aim is to collect and use data to provide an objective means to evaluate power infrastructure investments from the perspective of life-cycle costs to determine which power delivery solutions -- overhead or underground -- to employ. PDi2 is a North America-based group dedicated to supporting underground power infrastructure – not by excluding overhead – but by helping determine the best option for new and rehabilitation projects. Our members will work objectively to increase awareness about options for underground power infrastructure by: • Developing common methods by which cable systems can be evaluated • Educating power industry stakeholders on all technology and construction options, including underground Our goal is to help determine the most viable, reliable and cost-effective solution for the installation of transmission and distribution systems via life-cycle cost analysis. PDi2 members are key players in the power infrastructure industry and include companies like Dow, Borealis, General Cable and Prysmian. We are committed to becoming a trusted reference for all stakeholders within the electric power value chain, including design engineers, EPCs, utilities, utility commissions or regulators and consumers. We are looking for members within that sphere of influence. Please visit our web site to learn more.
