Advancing GETs Act of 2025

This bill would require the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to create, within 18 months, a rule that pays the entity that installs grid-enhancing technology a share of the savings it produces on the electric transmission system. The share would be set between 10 and 25 percent, apply equally to all eligible projects, and be paid over 3 years, but only for new installations expected to save at least 4 times their cost. Transmission operators would have to file annual reports on the costs of managing grid congestion, and the Commission and the Department of Energy would publish the data and a yearly updated map online. The Department of Energy would also create an application guide, provide technical assistance, and maintain a clearinghouse of past projects, with $5 million authorized for 2025 and $1 million per year for 2026 through 2036.
