It probably has no applications in transmission. Trans losses arent that high; not enough to justify refurbishing the grid.
The electrical resistance per se is actually not that interesting. Certainly not for energy loss. Electronics would benefit, especially CPUs if transistor switching doesn't heat the interconnects above the transition T (the actual cpu is much hotter than the package where the thermocouple is).
High quality (as in high Q) passives would be cool. Think very good capacitors and inductors for filtering. Super cond. caps wouldn't be great for energy dumping since high B fields kill the superconducting effect.
The magnetic properties are more interesting. MRIs w/out crygenic cooling, mag levitation without stabilization.
Apparently there are quantum applications too, but Im not too sure about those but my physicist friend is super excited (in a bad way) for quantum computers now.
If this pans out we're looking at an unexpected revolution.
