# Delaware HJR 3 (153) — DIRECTING ALL ELECTRIC UTILITIES IN DELAWARE TO PARTICIPATE IN AN ANALYSIS OF THE POTENTIAL FOR ADOPTION OF GRID-ENHANCING TECHNOLOGIES, INCLUDING BENEFITS, COST BURDENS AND COST SHIFTING, FEASIBILITY AND BARRIERS TO ADOPTION UNDERTAKEN BY THE DNREC STATE ENERGY OFFICE AND THE DELAWARE SUSTAINABLE ENERGY UTILITY.
|
||
|
||
Grid-enhancing technologies (GETs) offer efficient tools to increase power grid capacity without the need for new transmission lines. Studies demonstrate that these innovations can double renewable energy integration, create hundreds of thousands of jobs, and significantly expand interzonal transmission capacity. By 2035, GETs and reconductoring could help the U.S. achieve 90% emissions-free electricity.
