An Act amending Title 66 (Public Utilities) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in service and facilities, providing for advanced transmission technologies.

Added 'letters of notification in lieu of application' to the list of documents subject to the new advanced technology requirements.

Changed the requirement from needing to achieve at least two specific benefits to mandating the incorporation of all technically feasible and cost-effective advanced technologies.

Introduced a rebuttable presumption that an applicant has considered appropriate technologies if they include an analysis of them in their submission.

Added authority for the Commission to conditionally approve applications only if the applicant agrees to integrate advanced technologies to resolve identified needs.

Removed the specific requirement that projects must achieve at least two of four listed benefits (avoiding construction, increasing capacity, reducing congestion, or reducing impacts).

Added a new provision requiring the Commission to give full consideration to regional benefits identified in the application.

Redefined 'Advanced transmission technologies' to be a broader list including grid-enhancing technologies, high-performance conductors, and other Commission-identified tools.

Updated the definition of 'High-performance conductor' to use clearer comparative language regarding diameter, weight, resistance, and energy capacity.
