IA HF2682

Requires public utilities and transmission companies owning or operating electric transmission lines in Iowa to submit feasibility studies to the Iowa Utilities Commission by January 1, 2027, and every three years thereafter

Studies must evaluate grid-enhancing technologies (dynamic line rating systems, power flow control systems, topology optimization) and identify transmission lines suitable for reconductoring with advanced conductors

Feasibility studies must address eight purposes including increasing transmission capacity, reducing congestion, connecting renewable resources, increasing reliability, and reducing siting conflicts for new transmission lines

Exempts municipal utilities, cooperative electric associations, and companies owning transmission lines that serve a single customer or interconnect a single generating facility

Reporting parties may rely on information and analysis developed by regional transmission organizations to meet study requirements
