Assessment and Evaluation of Grid Enhancing Technologies (GETs)
With demand for new electricity generation rapidly rising — amid long timelines for planning and building new transmission lines — utilities, regional grid operators, state regulators, and many other stakeholders are increasingly seeking options for expanding transmission capacity on the existing grid. Grid Enhancing Technologies (GETS) are hardware and/or software that dynamically increase the capacity and reliability of existing power…
Opportunities for Transmission in TVA’s 2025 Integrated Resource Plan
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) faces a critical moment in planning for its future energy needs. These comments provide actionable recommendations that the TVA can implement to incorporate transmission considerations in its IRP and adopt proactive, multi-value transmission planning principles.
Recommendations for Reducing Costs and Improving Reliability for Tennessee Valley Authority Customers
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is conducting its legally mandated Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) process, an undertaking that currently does not require inclusion of the transmission expansion options necessary to ensure procurement of the lowest-cost power options. Notably, the TVA service territory experienced rolling blackouts for the first time in its more than 90-year history…
