ITC supports the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 as improved by the Substitute Amendment. As the nation’s largest independent owner and operator of electric transmission infrastructure, ITC has seen first-hand the need for reforms to drive more rapid development of critical high voltage transmission. As amended by Senate negotiators, this legislation will bolster our nation’s ability to invest in critical regional and interregional projects, strengthen reliability, meet growing electricity demand, and deliver affordable power to our communities.

“American families, businesses, and communities depend on affordable and reliable electricity every day, and this legislation is an important step toward delivering it,” said Krista Tanner, President and CEO of ITC Holdings Corp. “Infrastructure creates possibilities. By accelerating investment in critical transmission infrastructure, this legislation will help build the stronger grid needed to support economic growth and opportunity for generations to come.”  

ITC commends Senators Capito, Heinrich, Lee, and Whitehouse for their leadership and thoughtful approach to strengthen the legislation and incorporate stakeholder feedback.

As the legislation moves forward, ITC looks forward to working with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, regional transmission organizations, state regulators, and other stakeholders to support implementation that strengthens the grid and delivers benefits for customers.
