- Advanced electricity transmission tech could cut costs for consumers, advocates say
Advanced transmission technologies (ATT) aim to reduce electricity loss and costs by improving grid efficiency. A Pennsylvania bill (House Bill 2223) would require utilities to assess ATT deployment before approving new power lines, supported by advocates like Jenny Netherton and Doug Pietrucha. The legislation seeks to prolong existing infrastructure and address rising electricity costs driven by data centers and electrification.
