Utilities must consider advanced transmission technologies (ATTs) and grid-enhancing technologies (GETs) when building new transmission. They must assess the technical and financial feasibility of using ATTs and GETs to reduce grid congestion and propose an implementation plan to install GETs at each congestion points. The public utilities commission (PUC) must develop a study on potential uses of ATTs, which will include project benefits and costs, permitting reforms to streamline ATTs deployment, and how the PUC can support the implementation of ATTs.
