Summary
This bill directs the Secretary of Energy to conduct a comprehensive study on using highway and rail rights-of-way to construct high-voltage electrical transmission infrastructure. The study will evaluate the technical feasibility, costs, benefits, and challenges of co-locating transmission lines within existing transportation corridors, and will identify specific rights-of-way suitable for such projects. The Secretary must publish interim results and submit a final report to Congress within three years, including data on best practices, funding mechanisms, environmental effects, and an interagency action plan.
