The U.S. transmission system is now one of the biggest bottlenecks in the energy transition.
Renewable generation is outpacing the construction of transmission infrastructure, creating a structural imbalance between supply growth and grid capability. Interconnection queues are expanding, build timelines routinely exceed a decade, and congestion is increasingly driving both reliability risks and rising electricity costs.
At the same time, utilities and system operators are under pressure to:
- Integrate large volumes of renewable and distributed resources
- Maintain reliability under more dynamic and stressed grid conditions
- Reduce congestion without waiting for long-lead transmission expansion
- Improve utilization of existing assets already operating near limits
While Grid-Enhancing Technologies (GETs) are widely recognized as part of the solution, deployment remains uneven, fragmented, and largely limited to pilot programs rather than system-wide adoption.
This conference moves beyond theory and pilot discussions, focusing on practical operational questions: how Grid-Enhancing Technologies can move from isolated demonstrations into standard utility and ISO practice, and how quickly they can scale across the bulk power system.
Across two days, utilities, ISOs, regulators, and technology providers will examine:
- What GETs actually deliver in real grid operations (not just models)
- Where they succeed, where they fail, and why
- How they integrate with existing EMS, SCADA, and dispatch systems
- What regulatory frameworks enable or block deployment at scale
- How planning, markets, and operations change when GETs are fully integrated
Join utility leaders, ISOs, regulators, and technology experts in Atlanta to explore how Grid-Enhancing Technologies are moving from pilots to system-wide deployment—and what it will take to unlock meaningful transmission capacity in 2026.
Secure your spot today to be part of the discussion shaping the future of grid operations, planning, and investment.
