Optimize Colorado Electric Transmission System

Summary

The Colorado Grid Optimization Act adds new definitions for advanced conductors and grid‑enhancing technologies and obligates utilities to assess these options in their ten‑year transmission plans. It also expands the Colorado Electric Transmission Authority’s duties, reporting, and board structure, and sets wage and apprenticeship rules for projects that use the new technologies. The goal is to speed up clean‑energy integration, reduce congestion and wildfire risk, and lower costs for ratepayers.
