The High-Capacity Grid Act aims to establish a standard for transmission conductors to ensure efficiency and cost-effectiveness in energy projects. It mandates the use of the best-available technology for new and modified transmission lines, with a presumption of prudence for cost recovery. The bill requires the Commission to create regulations to implement these standards.
