What does SHARED SAVINGS INCENTIVE FOR GRID-ENHANCING TECHNOLOGIES. of Advancing GETs Act of 2025 do?

This section establishes a Shared Savings Incentive for Grid-Enhancing Technologies. The Commission is required to promulgate a final rule within 18 months of the Act's enactment to implement this incentive. The incentive returns a portion of savings attributable to grid-enhancing technology investments to the developer. The percentage of savings returned to the developer must be between 10% and 25%, applied consistently across all eligible technologies. Savings are returned to the developer over a 3-year period. The incentive applies to developers investing in grid-enhancing technology installed as described in section 2(2)(B). To qualify, the expected savings over 3 years must be at least 4 times the cost of the investment. The incentive cannot be applied to grid-enhancing technology already installed at the time of enactment. The Commission must determine appropriate consumer protections for the incentive. The Commission will evaluate the necessity and efficacy of the incentive between 7 and 10 years after its establishment, considering alignment with Order No. 1920.
