Editor’s note: There’s momentum behind permitting reform in the U.S. Congress right now. It could mean unstopping a serious bottleneck in climate tech — transmission. So we’re revisiting an episode from last May with Grid Strategies’ Rob Gramlich to understand how we got here, the impacts on climate tech, and the potential fixes. The U.S. power grid is clogged, and it’s holding back the energy transition. Solar and wind farms are waiting four or more years to connect to the grid.

Washington, D.C., May 22, 2024 – The Minnesota legislature passed a bill on Sunday night, HF 5247, that adds Grid Enhancing Technologies to the state’s transmission planning process (Article 42 Sec. 21) and requires utilities owning more than 750 miles of transmission lines to evaluate GETs on highly congested lines (Article 42 Sec. 52). The law also improves transparency by requiring utilities to explain their current line rating methodology.
