CTC Global has signed an agreement with Ducab Metals Business (DMB), a subsidiary of Ducab Group, to manufacture CTC Global’s high-capacity, energy-efficient ACCC® conductors in the UAE. DMB will import composite cores from the US to manufacture ACCC® conductors which help in increasing the capacity of transmission lines, and reduction of transmission losses and associated CO₂ emissions. DMB will contribute to the expansion of the UAE’s national power grid by using the conductors to accelerate the integration of renewable energy, resulting in enhanced efficiency, capacity, reliability, and conservation of water consumed at thermal power plants.

The initiative calls for deeper carbon emissions cut, and implementing CTC Global’s energy-efficient conductors on a large scale is a significant step towards achieving that objective.”

Mr. Steve Jackman commented, “DMB is a trusted and reliable partner in the Middle East, and its industry leadership in the UAE will ensure the benefits of CTC Global’s high-performance conductors have the maximum reach possible.”
