NEWS: Trump is sitting on an executive order pushing advanced transmission

When will the White House roll out its pro-“gridmaxxing” executive order? (Latitude Media)

  • The Trump administration has spent months mulling over an order that would (reportedly) push advanced transmission tech, Latitude Media reported. FERC would direct utilities and grid operators to show where these tools can avoid or delay new wires—and gridmax existing line capacity by 10–100% in a few years.

  • While this lags, the DOE is already offering nearly $2B in advanced transmission tech funding.
