Learn how utilities are managing and leveraging grid-edge technologies to enable flexibility, customer value, and a more dynamic grid.

Grid Enhancing Technologies (GETs) are reshaping how utilities optimize the performance and capacity of the transmission grid without the need for major infrastructure upgrades. By using advanced hardware and software solutions—such as dynamic line ratings, power flow control devices, and topology optimization—GETs allow utilities to unlock unused grid capacity, improve system flexibility, and accelerate the integration of renewable energy.
