Bill overview
The REWIRE Act aims to modernize the nation’s electricity grid by streamlining the process of reconductoring existing transmission lines. It establishes a categorical exclusion for certain reconductoring projects within existing rights-of-way, allowing for the use of advanced transmission conductors like carbon fiber cables. The bill also promotes the use of these advanced technologies by offering incentives and establishing a program to evaluate their performance and provide technical assistance to utilities and developers. Finally, it updates energy programs to account for reconductoring with advanced conductors and grid-enhancing technologies.
