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.

Microgrids: Best Practices for Zero-Emission Bus Resiliency

2023-07-17T16:21:05-04:00

With the adoption of zero-emission buses increasing across the United States, transit agencies are faced with real challenges for future energy management and increasingly detrimental consequences in the event of utility grid outages. Microgrids, which are systems that use a variety of distributed energy resources and energy storage assets, provide numerous benefits over conventional approaches to resiliency. This report breaks down how microgrids not only ensure an uninterruptible power supply but will also work to offset utility costs as demand for and the cost of electricity increases in the coming decade. The top five high-level factors that transit agencies must consider for microgrids on a project-by-project basis, plus examples of real-world transit microgrid projects, are also included.
