Partnership designed to enable EV drivers in Massachusetts to earn incentives while supporting grid reliability and affordability.<\/p>\n

NEW YORK \u2014\u00a0Eversource<\/a>,\u00a0National Grid<\/a>,\u00a0EnergyHub<\/a>,\u00a0Sunrun<\/a>, and\u00a0The Mobility House<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 leaders in grid flexibility and smart charging technology \u2014 today announced a joint effort to test\u00a0vehicle-to-grid<\/a>\u00a0(V2G) capabilities in Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Under this effort, qualifying residential customers of Eversource and National Grid in Massachusetts will be able to enroll their V2G-capable electric vehicles (EVs) in ConnectedSolutions. The existing ConnectedSolutions program uses flexible capacity from thermostats, batteries, and commercial and industrial resources to reduce grid strain, and Eversource and National Grid will be leveraging those capabilities to test how they apply to V2G.<\/p>\n

With more than\u00a0150,000 EVs on the road<\/a>\u00a0and an\u00a0increasing number<\/a>\u00a0of bidirectional-capable models available, Massachusetts is sitting on a large and growing energy reserve. The introduction of vehicle-to-grid capabilities enables drivers to \u2018give back\u2019 to the grid, turning every parked EV into a vital tool for a more reliable energy system.<\/p>\n

Participating EVs can play an important role in reducing costs for all Eversource and National Grid customers. During periods of peak demand, they will be able to send stored energy back to the grid \u2014 helping prevent system strain, while enhancing overall grid stability. The grid benefits that V2G-capable EVs can provide are potentially substantial, and participating drivers will be rewarded with incentives that support the value they deliver to the grid.<\/p>\n

National Grid is\u00a0also currently leveraging V2G for light-to-medium-duty fleets within ConnectedSolutions<\/a>, beginning with school buses, while Eversource is in discussions with districts as part of its\u00a0ConnectedSolutions+<\/a>\u00a0offering.<\/p>\n

\u201cConnectedSolutions\u00a0is an important part of our strategy to deliver safe, reliable and affordable service,\u201d said David Roman Ubeda, Senior Program Manager at National Grid. \u201cV2G may provide additional opportunities to customers in support of managing their energy bills while advancing long-term sustainability across Massachusetts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cConnectedSolutions\u00a0is the gold standard for how utilities can scale virtual power plants by unifying diverse energy assets into a single, cohesive program,\u201d said Seth Frader-Thompson, President of EnergyHub.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to bring our dispatching expertise to Massachusetts and help expand our vehicle-to-grid technology to more customers,\u201d said Chip Silverman, Sunrun\u2019s Director of Grid Services. \u201cVehicle batteries play a critical role in stabilizing the grid, providing backup power to homes, and lowering energy costs for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cElectric cars and buses with bidirectional charging have a valuable capability to provide emergency back up power and vehicle-to-grid,\u201d said Russell Vare, VP of Vehicle-Grid Integration at The Mobility House North America. \u201cThe ConnectedSolutions\u00a0program provides an excellent model to incentivize customers to interconnect their EVs to support the grid.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cConnectedSolutions\u00a0is a nation-leading model for implementing virtual power plants, enabling us to actively partner with customers to help ease the strain on the electric grid,\u201d said Tilak Subrahmanian, Eversource Vice President of Energy Efficiency and Electric Mobility. \u201cWe are proud of the impact our demand response efforts have had so far, and we are excited to test the capabilities we\u2019ve built within ConnectedSolutions\u00a0on new innovations, such as V2G.\u201d<\/p>\n
