Electric School Bus Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Pilot Program

Efficiency Maine must assess the feasibility of implementing a V2G pilot project for electric school buses within the Wells-Ogunquit Community School District. Efficiency Maine must evaluate the cost effectiveness of the pilot project, ways to minimize costs and maximize ratepayer benefits, the cost of grid interconnection, and whether a V2G pilot project could be implemented within Efficiency Maine’s budget. On January 15, 2024, Efficiency Maine submitted a report of their findings and recommendations to the Joint Standing Committee on Energy, Utilities, and Technology.
