## Summary

**This bill would create a FERC rulemaking that offers a shared savings incentive for grid-enhancing technologies, with added congestion reporting and a DOE application guide.** It would tie a uniform percentage of savings back to the developer and require public congestion data and technical support for deployment. - Developers and project funders would get a uniform shared-savings payment set between 10% and 25% of measured savings, returned over a 3-year period, but only for projects whose expected 3-year savings are at least four times the investment. - Transmission operators and planners must report annual congestion data using a FERC-set metric, flagging constraints with more than $500,000 in associated costs; FERC and DOE would publish an annual congestion-cost map for analysis. - The Department of Energy would produce an application guide within 18 months, offer technical assistance on request, and run a public clearinghouse of completed GET projects to share best practices; the bill authorizes $5.0 million for FY2025 and $1.0 million annually for FY2026–2036. *This would modestly increase federal spending by authorizing about $16.0 million in appropriations over 2025–2036.*

## Provisions PRIA read

- Annual congestion cost reporting: benefit, medium. If enacted, FERC would have 18 months to set a single metric and data protocol for congestion reporting. One year after that rule takes effect, transmission operators must file yearly reports on congestion-management costs. Reports must flag constraints that caused more than $500,000 in costs and i…
- DOE guide, help, and small grants: benefit, low. If enacted, the Energy Secretary would have 18 months to publish a how-to guide for utilities and developers on grid-enhancing technologies. The guide would be updated each year and the Department would provide technical help on request. The Department must keep a clearinghouse of completed project…
- Shared savings for grid upgrades: mixed, high. If enacted, FERC would have 18 months to make a rule that pays developers a share of measured savings from new grid-enhancing technology. The Commission must set one uniform rate between 10% and 25% for all eligible projects. Payments would come from measured savings over a three-year period. A pro…
