Advanced transmission technology legislation

Colorado legislature has sent an advanced technology transmission bill to the Governor’s desk. HB26-1081, the Colorado Grid Optimization Act, requires transmission line assessments every two years concerning how “advanced transmission technologies could increase Colorado’s ability to import and export electricity, speed the hookup of new generation or load to the grid and reduce wildfire risk.”

16 states have some form of advanced technology transmission line requirements.
