"Hivoduct" is a high voltage power duct for electric power transmission using pressurized air for insulation and a grounded enclosure. Its functionality is like lines or cables - but it transmits more power, uses less space, exhibits lower electromagnetic fields and has less losses.
Hivoduct benefits grid operators, the environment and neighbourhoods.

Our Mission
We are a Swiss high-tech start-up that enables technologies for low-impact energy transmission.
We reduce the environmental impact of high-voltage electric energy transmission by:
- A new technology for electric energy transmission: Hivoduct
- Similar functionality as high-voltage lines and cables
- Pressurized air for insulation (replacing SF6 gas used in GIL)
- No noise emissions and shielded electromagnetic fields
- Compact dimensions - therefore less trenching, material and space requirement
- Better transmission efficiency and reduced losses in operation
- Co-location with existing infrastructure due to fireproof, inherent safety
