ABOUT VEIR
VEIR’s new generation of superconducting electric transmission lines operate with negligible losses at much higher currents than conventional lines and other advanced conductors. The result is transmission of 5-10x more power than conventional lines at a given voltage level. VEIR reduces the space needed to transmit power, maximizes the transfer capabilities in existing corridors, and reduces requirements for new corridors.
Our Core Values
VEIR is aligned around the goal to rapidly accelerate the growth in electric transmission capacity necessary for global decarbonization and grid resilience. This mission is embedded in the decisions we make every day.
Safety
We maintain constant vigilance and awareness that we work in a safety-critical industry. We do not cut corners and are always focused on ensuring the safety of everyone who encounters both our facilities and our products, including our employees, contractors, partners, customers, and the public.
Accountability
Collaboration
We seek to ensure that our accomplishments are always greater than the sum of our individual contributions. We know long term success will require interdisciplinary partnerships both within our organization and with numerous external collaborators, including partners, regulators, and customers. We seek to build strong relationships where everyone wins.
Fun and Family
The gravity of our mission must not preclude us from enjoying ourselves along the way. We acknowledge that success will not come overnight. We are focused on ensuring the health and happiness of our entire team and their families and continuously strive to ensure that we all enjoy the adventure for which we have signed up.
