School buses can be brilliant grid assets, they are almost perfectly suited to providing V2G on top of their "day job". The US has half a million school buses and the old diesel powered ones are increasingly being swapped for new battery electric models. What makes school buses ideal for V2G is their highly predictable usage pattern and the fact that they only operate for a few hours per day. A typical day could look like this: 1?? Take students to school in the morning, return to the yard. 2?? Plug in > Charge during the midday solar peak, helping to alleviate the duck curve 3?? Take students home in the afternoon, return to the yard. 4?? Plug in > Discharge in the late afternoon and evening, helping to alleviate the evening peak. The bus operators can then decide whether to leave enough charge in the batteries for the morning school run or discharge more during the evening peak and charge again overnight. And this is a school day. During weekends and holidays the buses are fully available to serve the grid. That includes most of the summer, when many areas see the highest demand peaks. As well as supporting the grid, bus operators can also make money along the way. What's not to like? #energy #sustainability #automotive #renewables #energytransition

?? New Report: Advancing Clean Energy in the Finger Lakes The Finger Lakes Clean Energy Hub's Regional Assessment and Barriers Analysis (RABA) highlights key challenges and opportunities in transitioning our region to clean energy at scale. With 1.2 million residents, nearly half in Disadvantaged Communities (DACs), we must electrify 16,134 households annually to meet New York’s climate goals. Workforce development, program accessibility, and stronger collaboration are essential. Achieving this transition requires state, federal, and utility investment to build an inclusive clean energy economy in the Finger Lakes. ?? Read the full report: https://lnkd.in/ew7pHp6c

We had a great time at the #2025RochesterAutoShow this weekend! Our biggest takeaway: EVs are here to stay. If car manufacturer's aren't expanding their battery electric offerings (and some are), they are continuing to invest in hybrid technology. The federal incentives are still in effect for qualifying vehicles and buyers (for now), but we hear people will continue to buy them regardless because they are fun to drive, cost less to own, and are better for the environment. Even #RochesterRedWings #Mitsy has an EV!
