"The speed at which GETs can be deployed is perhaps their greatest asset, proving to be one of the only tools to meet the growing demand..." Read about why @nysdps.bsky.social is push utilities to move faster on #GridEnhancingTechnologies. www.utilitydive.com/news/grid-en...

It requires utilities to use grid-enhancing technologies that can save money, time and limit environmental impacts.

🎙️ On September 17th at 2-3pm Eastern, join Quanta Tech, PPL Utilities, ACORE, @wattcoalition.bsky.social, and myself for our webinar on Advanced Transmission Technologies in Planning for Utilities and Grid Operators! 📆 Register for the webinar and download the report here: rmi.org/event/webina...

#DynamicLineRatings are in India's national electricity plan. Grid Enhancing Technologies are part of energy systems all around the world. powermin.gov.in/sites/defaul...

Utilities are prioritizing risky and expensive gas plants to meet increasing electricity demand. Other solutions like virtual power plants, grid-enhancing technologies, and clean energy can help meet load growth faster and cheaper. 📰 @latitudemedia.bsky.social: bit.ly/3HL0Yih

Very exciting! 6 states have passed laws encouraging Grid Enhancing Technologies in 2025 so far!

Don't miss an opportunity on April 22 to learn about how FERC's Order No. 1920 requires Grid Enhancing Technologies in transmission planning: acore.swoogo.com/ReducingEner...

Do you recognize any of these brands: IKEA, Levi's, Nestle, New Belgium, REI, or Sierra Nevada? They all signed on to a letter supporting state action on Grid Enhancing Technologies! www.ceres.org/resources/ne...

The WATT Coalition had a great conversation last week with Commissioner Kathleen Jackson, P.E., of the Public Utility Commission of Texas, about how Grid Enhancing Technologies can reduce costs and improve grid reliability.

The ‘grid-enhancing’ technologies, or GETs in industry shorthand, are popular in other countries and could reduce the need for new wires. So why are they not being embraced in the U.S.? rhodeislandcurrent.com/2023/08/29/fed…

This bill was reintroduced yesterday! castor.house.gov/news/documen...

Emily Koo of @acadiacenter.bsky.social is now up testifying for H5573, which would pave the way for the use of grid-enhancing technologies and advanced conductors. "Investment in these lower-cost alternatives as opposed to new capital builds can result in savings for electricity customers." /5

The Advancing GETs Act is reintroduced! It would create a US-specific version of incentives that accelerated grid modernization in the UK and Australia. America deserves an optimized grid. Thank you @usrepkathycastor.bsky.social, #SenatorAngusKing and #SenatorPeterWelch for your leadership!

Yep, our bizarre utility model blocks innovation: "So why are we not seeing an explosion in ATT investment &deployment in the US? Because despite their potential 2unlock 21st-century technology, the 20th-century structure of the nation’s electricity markets discourages adoption of these solutions. "

Thrilled to partner with @briancdeese.bsky.social and to work with utilities and their regulators to integrate these great transmission technologies!

New op-ed on the potential for Advanced Transmission Technologies by the former Director of the White House National Economic Council! "Laws or regulations that facilitate the use of ATTs can quickly expand the grid and save consumers money. They should be an easy yes on both sides of the aisle."

Hope you’re ready for the midterm exam on how we can make the most of the U.S. #powerGrid. ⚡⚡ Don’t worry — we made you a cheat sheet:

Backed by #GRIP funding, @georgiapower.bsky.social is stepping up to “Deliver Long-term Reliability” and “Drive Lower Rates” with Dynamic Line Ratings (DLR)! #DLR optimizes grid capacity, lowers transmission costs, and integrates #renewables efficiently. Read more: www.tdworld.com/utility-busi...

This thread was a good discussion! Grid engineers, please post at us with your questions and critiques! And yes, we were trying to be a little silly with the jetpack metaphor.

🔌 Some states are pushing their utilities to consider technologies that allow existing power lines to carry much more electricity. These grid-enhancing technologies can help to lower utility bills and improve grid resilience, @brown_alex_ reports. stateline.org/2024/03/08/all…

A new climate story on NPR! A surprising quicker solution to help fix the mess of the US grid. (And why many worry monopoly utilities won't go for it.) Check it out below! https://www.npr.org/2023/08/13/1187620367/power-grid-enhancing-technologies-climate-change

The first issue of @natrevcleantech.bsky.social features a big review paper on Grid Enhancing Technologies!

No. 11: Volts covers grid-enhancing technologies & sets off a wave of state legislation! www.vulture.com/article/bigg...

I am excited to share @mariarobinson.bsky.social, @jameshewett.bsky.social, Julia Selker, @wattcoalition.bsky.social & @charlesxhua.bsky.social will be joining us at @mitenergyconf.bsky.social 2025! 🙌🏼 The discussion on transmission is particularly an important one, hope y’all join us!⤵️ #energysky

Today NARUC adopted a resolution in support of #GridEnhancingTechnologies and #HighPerformanceConductors! Federal grants that include these technologies have touched 29 states - these grants help utilities improve grid efficiency and lower costs. watt-transmission.org/naruc-adopts...

Today, WATT filed reply comments on the FERC Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on the Implementation of #DynamicLineRatings. #FERC should progress without delay to a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and a final rule requiring DLR on highly congested lines. watt-transmission.org/watt-filings...

The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners is considering a resolution to support #GridEnhancingTechnologies this week. Federal funding has helped accelerate grid efficiency investments and practices, with related grants touching 29 states. We hope these programs continue!
