Electrifying Emergency Response: Lessons from Cary, NC’s Electric Fire Truck

2026-06-24T16:36:25-04:00

The insights gained from this project offer valuable lessons to other municipalities and fleets operating heavy-duty vehicles as they illustrate a path forward for electrification through documented real-world application. Learnings from pilot deployments also help to inform decision-making for scaling and continuing the transition to zero emission. “This deployment and real-world performance give us conviction to continue evaluating electric options across our fleet. It also demonstrates that local governments don’t have to choose between reliable operations and environmental responsibility,” says Danna Widmar, assistant town manager.

Energizing EV Charging Stations: New and Flexible Approaches to Capacity Constraints

2025-12-18T15:40:35-05:00

Case studies highlight these solutions in action: tools, programs and offerings from utilities across the country, including Dominion Energy, Portland General Electric, National Grid, Southern California Edison, and Pacific Gas and Electric. The paper concludes with recommendations for how utilities, and the Public Utility Commissions (PUCs) that regulate them, can explore and implement these solutions in their own jurisdictions.

Roadmap to Publishing Grid Capacity Maps

2026-01-29T12:15:31-05:00

The publicly available document provides guidance on how to successfully publish grid capacity maps and helps utilities think through that decision and the ramifications of making certain choices in what is published and how. It also offers a valuable starting point for utilities that have not yet begun hosting capacity analysis, helping them understand the landscape, anticipate challenges, and plan strategically for future publications.
