Expresses legislative support for utility investigation and deployment of advanced transmission technologies including high-capacity conductors and compact transmission towers when replacing aged infrastructure.

Directs consideration of these technologies' cost-effectiveness in ensuring reliable electricity delivery while increasing grid capacity, reducing transmission losses, and improving energy efficiency.

Supports evaluation of advanced transmission options' ability to reduce environmental and visual impacts to communities and lower overall energy delivery costs.

Encourages electric utilities, grid operators, and the Alabama Public Service Commission to prioritize these cost-effective technologies in transmission grid planning and development, particularly through use of existing transmission corridors.
