A system can be provided for supplying power to downhole equipment during a wellbore operation performed with respect to a wellbore. The system can include a tubing positioned downhole in the wellbore. The system can also include a tubing encapsulated conductor (TEC) positioned downhole in the wellbore. The TEC can be in contact with the tubing at one or more locations along a length of the tubing. The TEC can include an interior wire for transmitting electricity from a power source to at least one piece of electrical equipment during the wellbore operation. The TEC can also include a metal sheath positioned around the interior wire and a conductive encapsulation layer. The conductive encapsulation layer can be positioned on an outer side of the metal sheath and can be positioned to facilitate one or more electrical couplings between the metal sheath and the conductive item at the one or more locations.
