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

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…

Federal, state regulators prod utilities to consider technology for grid upgrade • Rhode Island Current

Technology could make US electric grid more efficient, reduce need for thousands of miles of new lines to handle extreme weather, reduce costs and connect renewable energy projects.

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. "
