Due to the high demands in electric power consumption, South Korea is expanding its transmission line system using superconductors instead of copper or aluminum cables.  South Korea already ordered 50 miles of Superconducting cables from American Semiconductors http://www.amsc.com/ which would carry 50 MW of power.

Korea Electric Power Corp CEO Kim Ssang-Su:
“As is the case in many countries around the world, Korea has been experiencing sharp increases in electricity demand and is relying more and more on renewable energy sources to meet that demand. With the ability to carry vast amounts of power in a small pathway, we see great promise for superconductor cable technology and look forward to energizing this system first.”
