ADI analyzed North American transmission demand by asset class, end market, and application to clarify where grid modernization and electrification are driving sustained equipment investment. Proprietary asset‑level segmentation was used to connect reliability mandates, renewable integration, and load growth to spending cycles. The results translated market signals into clear implications for manufacturing focus and capacity planning.
The client

Notes from the Gas to Grid Summit
Gas-to-grid infrastructure has received limited attention amid rapid growth in data-center power demand. Pipelines, storage, fuel delivery, generation, and grid connections determine when new load can receive reliable power. ADI Analytics and Energy Conference Network launched the inaugural Gas to Grid Summit to examine this part of the value chain. Participants included midstream operators Williams […]

Post-auto growth in lubricants
HF Sinclair plans to separate its Lubricants & Specialties business, retire its 15,600-barrel-per-day Ontario base oil refinery, and replace internal production with long-term supply agreements. Similar portfolio activity is visible across the industry: BP sold a controlling interest in Castrol, Saudi Aramco acquired Valvoline’s global products business, and private-equity-backed distributors continue to add local businesses.
