The bill submitted to the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities, and Energy aims to enhance Massachusetts' electricity transmission system by investigating and implementing advanced transmission solutions. It directs the Department of Public Utilities (DPU) and the Department of Energy Resources (DOER) to conduct an independent investigation into emerging grid technologies, including advanced conductors and grid-enhancing technologies (GETs). The investigation will assess the current state, potential benefits, and cost-effectiveness of these technologies while addressing jurisdictional and cost-sharing issues. The findings will inform future policies and investments in the state's electric transmission infrastructure, emphasizing the need for innovative solutions to meet rising electricity demand and support renewable energy integration. Additionally, the bill introduces a new section titled APPENDIX 2: WRITTEN RESPONSES, which will provide insights and recommendations from stakeholders regarding advanced transmission solutions. It highlights the benefits of technologies such as Dynamic Line Ratings (DLR) and Advanced Power Flow Control (APFC), which can improve grid efficiency and reliability while deferring significant infrastructure costs. However, the bill also acknowledges challenges in deploying these technologies, including regulatory limitations and the need for better planning processes. Overall, the bill seeks to modernize the electric grid by promoting innovative solutions that enhance efficiency and reliability while addressing the barriers to their widespread adoption.
