But that implies new high-voltage cables with very high pylons to match.
Less known is the company's already booming business in wind towers, the high pylons that support wind turbines with 126-foot blades.
None is more breathtaking than the Alamillo Bridge in Seville, built for Expo '92, with its single, sharply tilted, 500-foot-high pylon holding the steel wires that sustain the bridge.
The initial plan was presented by artist David Deming, who proposed a 13ft-tall stainless steel statue of the comic book character mounted on a 36-ft-high pylon.
After agreeing not to place 47-metre-high pylons all the way through the Lake District national park, the utility giant proposed a £460m plan to run cables underground.
I think of watching the Eiffel Tower-high pylons of Le Viaduc de Millau, by Michel Virlogeux and Norman Foster, a cable-stayed bridge carrying the A75 autoroute across the Tarn Valley, rising through morning clouds.

The overpass above New Hampshire will feature 40-foot-high pylons, each affixed with a city of Orlando seal.
Many large Scottish wind farms have not been built because the operators are unable to connect the turbines to the high voltage pylon network.
The response to wind action of a 254 m high bridge pylon was measured in situ for a period of 7 weeks in the fall of 1995 in Denmark.
There, a high-tension pylon was recently anchored directly on an engraved prehistoric surface.
