The electricity grid is evolving in real time. Canada is being confronted with the twin challenege of increasing electrification from heating and transportation while also confronting decarbonization. Utilities, who are trying to keep rates affordable for consumers, are looking at new and innovative ways of balancing supply and electrical load. This is where solutions like Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) can play a major role. In provinces where electric vehicules are forming a larger and larger portion of the vehicle fleet, there is significant potential for grid operators and utilities to use that stored energy to balance load. Norda Stelo is proud to support British Columbia's first real-world field test of Vehicle-to-Grid technology, alongside Fuse Power Management and Lynch Bus Lines. This represents a huge first step towards the intersection of sustainable mobility and a smarter grid.
What if your kid’s school bus could power your house? 🚌 Today, BC Hydro became the first Canadian utility to launch a real-world field test of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology using electric school buses, marking a major milestone in the province’s clean energy innovation journey.
