70. The Power of GETs: Unlocking Hidden Grid Capacity

Grid Enhancing Technologies (GETs) are gaining momentum as a practical way to maximize the efficiency and capacity of existing transmission lines. Designed to improve how the grid is monitored, managed, and operated, GETs are increasingly seen as a practical solution to growing demand, congestion, and reliability challenges. In this episode of EPRI Current, host Samantha Gilman is joined by EPRI’s Anna Lafoyiannis and RMI’s Katie Siegner to explore how GETs are moving from pilot projects to broader deployment. The guests discuss technologies such as dynamic line ratings and advanced conductors, share insights from real‑world testing underway at EPRI’s labs, and examine evolving regulatory and policy drivers. From collaborative efforts like EPRI’s Grid Enhancing Technologies for a Smart Energy Transition (GET SET) initiative to emerging market signals and lessons from early adopters, the episode offers a grounded look at what it takes to scale GETs – and what utilities should consider next.
