Advancing GETs Act of 2025

Financial Incentives for Infrastructure Upgrades: Developers who pay to install grid-enhancing technology can receive a return of a portion of the savings generated, which must be between 10 and 25 percent of those savings (Section 3(c)(1)).

Increased Grid Performance: The bill targets technology designed to increase the capacity, efficiency, reliability, resilience, or safety of transmission facilities (Section 2(2)(A)).

Improved Situational Awareness: The technology used can give operators more situational awareness and control over the electric grid (Section 2(2)(B)(i)).

Enhanced Efficiency and Capacity: The approved technologies are intended to make transmission facilities and technologies more efficient or increase their transfer capacity (Section 2(2)(B)(ii-iii)).

Increased Transparency and Data Access: The Commission and the Secretary will create and update a map of costs associated with congestion management, which will be made publicly available (Section 4(c)(2) and 4(d)).

Technical Support for Implementation: The Secretary of Energy will provide an application guide and technical assistance to utilities and developers seeking to use grid-enhancing technologies (Section 5(b) and 5(d)(1)).

Resource Sharing: A clearinghouse of previously completed projects will be established so that the Secretary, utilities, and developers can identify issues and solutions (Section 5(d)(2)).

Mandatory Reporting Burdens: All operators of transmission facilities or transmission technologies are required to submit annual reports containing data on costs associated with congestion management (Section 4(a)(1)).

Requirement for Stringent Cost-Benefit Ratios: The shared savings incentive only applies if the expected savings are at least 4 times the cost of the investment (Section 3(e)(1)(A)).

Limited Eligibility for Existing Infrastructure: The shared savings incentive cannot be applied to grid-enhancing technology that is already installed as of the date the Act is enacted (Section 3(e)(2)).
