The High-Capacity Grid Act amends the Federal Power Act to establish a 'best-available transmission conductor' standard for new and upgraded transmission projects under Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) jurisdiction. The bill requires FERC to presume that using best-available conductors—defined as those with the greatest energy-carrying capacity, highest electrical efficiency, and best thermal sag mitigation at a given voltage—is prudent and cost-recoverable through utility rates. Conversely, the bill creates a presumption against cost recovery for utilities that use non-best-available conductors. FERC must issue implementing regulations within 180 days that establish a methodology for determining best-available conductors and provide for periodic updates.
