Vehicle Grid Integration (VGI) Research and Development Grants

The California Energy Commission (CEC) offers grants to projects that address VGI knowledge gaps; high costs of vehicle to everything or bidirectional charging equipment, as compared to unidirectional charging; and the lack of access to cost-effective, accurate, and flexible submetering solutions. The maximum grant allowed per project is $3,000,000. Eligible applicants include all public and private entities. Local publicly owned electric utilities are not eligible. Additional terms and conditions apply. For more information, see the CEC Enabling Electric Vehicles as Distributed Energy Resources website.
