Along with the economic globalization, environmental protection and green energy become the focus of overall construction. Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) is proved to have excellent properties, such as light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, insulation and environmental. It has been widely used in electric power networks worldwide. By searching the latest studies and applications, and combining working experiences, the authors overview the applications of FRP in electric power networks from the aspects of composite insulators, FRP towers, FRP electric power fittings, aluminum conductor carbon fiber reinforced core, electrical safety tools and so on. The overview shows that FRP, being of good quality, can satisfy both energy conservation and environment protection requirements. It has great potential in the future.
