CEC Awards Nuvve $1.9M Grant for Innovative Vehicle-to-Microgrid Project
Summary
The initial project phase includes plans to produce a scalable model for other California school districts to implement their own zero-emission and bi-directional infrastructure.The RESCHOOL project will enhance existing electric school bus and bi-directional charging infrastructure deployments with battery energy storage, microgrid and islanding capabilities to demonstrate how ESBs play a vital role in bolstering the reliability of Californias power grid, particularly during extreme weather events and emergency situations. "The project builds on our long experience aggregating electric school bus battery storage to discharge energy to the grid and further enhance resiliency through microgrid capabilities," said Nuvve CEO Gregory Poilasne. "It also underscores Nuvves commitment to advancing clean energy solutions and reducing costs while strengthening the resilience of Californias power infrastructure. "This CEC grant will ultimately improve air quality, provide revenue for additional student programing and will help us support the power grid to reduce outages during emergency situations. Committed to accelerating the planets transition to a net-zero future, Nuvve is securing fleet electrification partners across the e-mobility and grid value chain and supports active deployments around the world with 18.3 megawatts currently under management.
