CPower will convert the largest fleet of electric school buses in the nation into grid-ready resources. 



The largest grid operator in the U.S., PJM, will benefit from the use of the nation's largest fleet of electric school buses (EVSBs), which CPower Energy, the leader in the nation in helping customers harness the power of DERs, today announced a new relationship with Highland Electric Fleets. In order to keep the grid in balance, Highland will be able to lower electricity loads by employing EVSBs from Maryland's Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) thanks to CPower's assistance in enabling demand response solutions.

According to John Horton, CEO and President of CPower, "We are excited to join with Highland to leverage their EVSB depots as flexible and clean distributed energy resources to support the grid when called upon for reliability and to generate a totally new revenue stream." Our nationwide collaborations with EV fleet owners, charging station operators, and local school districts show that taking part in grid services initiatives may significantly reduce the cost of electrification while also boosting community resilience and greening the grid.

According to Highland Electric Fleets CEO Duncan McIntyre, "electric school buses will play a big role in delivering healthier, more resilient communities across the U.S." "Electric school buses will help regional electric networks and wholesale energy markets actively. Demand flexibility made possible by the partnership with CPower enables MCPS — and eventually school districts nationally — to enhance grid resilience and decarbonization.

Electric school buses, like those at MCPS, are the best resources to offer grid resiliency services because they run on a regular daily schedule. When necessary, CPower will control the flow of electricity to the EVSB charging stations to lower grid demand. Bi-directional charging assets would maximize environmental advantages by enabling the EVSB batteries to export extra clean energy capacity to the grid, but they are not yet permitted to participate in PJM's capacity and ancillary services markets. With the help of FERC Order 2222 and other changes in policy, CPower anticipates being able to unlock even more value from these assets in the future.

To increase energy flexibility and grid dependability, CPower assists project owners and developers across the U.S. in realizing the value of their customers' DERs. More than any other operator in the U.S., the business presently maintains over 6.3 GW of DER capacity across more than 17,000 locations.
