Cost Comparison from Frost and Sullivan:

Composite conductors, for instance, can improve the grid more than conventional conductors and require less capital expenditure. They can achieve the same capacity addition at less than 25 percent of the total replacement plan due to superior high temperature performance and lighter weight.

At first I thought they meant a 25% savings. But if you can do something for 25% of the total replacement plan that would give you a 75% savings. A $10mm upgrade would only cost you $2.5mm. At least they see some very big economic advantages of composite conductors.
