“Beneficial electrification, and EVs in particular, presents
utilities with a growing opportunity to create new revenue streams
while at the same time satisfying mandates for reducing carbon
emissions,” said Bidgely CEO Abhay Gupta. “Everyday new EVs are
plugged into the home, and our EV Solution helps utilities get
ahead of this trend in order to understand the impact of
vehicle-to-grid integration for grid planning and load
forecasting.”
The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates anywhere between
125-220 million EVs will be on the road by 2030, and the vast
majority of charging is happening at home. Bidgely’s EV Solution
begins by detecting the unique EV load signature in the home and
analyzing the charging patterns. Insights into home EV charging
enables:
- EV Load Research and Planning:
Utilities can use EV charging patterns for better grid planning,
defining new EV tariffs and managing load distribution and
forecasting.
- EV Customer Engagement: Through
targeted customer engagement with EV owners, utilities can offer
rebates on high speed charges or EV Time of Use plans that increase
utility revenues and enables load balancing on the grid.
- EV Controls: As automated
management of EVs increases, utilities can target enrollment in
managed charging and even manage EVs as a dispatchable load
resource through a Bidgely EV controls partner.
