Establishes the Electric Transmission Facilities Siting Act, setting siting priorities for electric transmission facilities.
The Electric Transmission Facilities Siting Act prioritizes the use of existing public utility corridors, followed by highway corridors, and then new corridors for siting new electric transmission facilities. It mandates that public utilities or developers submit colocation requests for high-voltage electric service lines to the Secretary of Transportation, who will review and approve these requests. The act also outlines the process for developing and approving constructability reports for the siting of high-voltage electric service lines, ensuring these reports are made publicly available.
