Nuvve Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: NVVE) today announced a new
collaborative pilot program with Resource Innovations led by ComEd
to explore the benefits of bidirectional charging using electric
school buses within ComEd’s service area powering more than 4.3
million customers across northern Illinois. Scheduled to run
through the end of Q4 2025, the initiative will assess the
environmental, societal, and grid impacts of integrating
vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology into clean transportation.
“Nuvve’s cutting-edge V2G technology transforms electric
vehicles into reliable, dispatchable, and monetizable mobile energy
storage assets, and our continued innovation—evidenced by our
recent groundbreaking AC V2G project with Exelon—positions us at
the forefront of this industry,” said Hamza Lemsaddek, Vice
President of Technology and Astrea AI at Nuvve. “This pilot will
evaluate the value electric school buses can deliver to ComEd and
its customers.”
The pilot will evaluate ways to deploy energy stored in the
batteries of electric school buses to enhance grid stability and
reduce energy costs. Three school districts, all of which are Nuvve
customers within ComEd’s service area, are anticipated to join the
pilot this year. This pilot in northern Illinois will help
demonstrate the versatility of Nuvve’s V2G technology, offering the
utility the opportunity to study how to harness energy stored in
vehicle’s battery for use during peak times, and bolster energy
efficiency for school districts and local communities.
“ComEd is excited to launch the Vehicle-to-Grid pilot program in
2025 as we continue with our mission of delivering best in class
reliability and customer solutions to advance the equitable
adoption of EVs here in northern Illinois,” said Scott Vogt, Vice
President of Strategy and Energy Policy for ComEd. “V2G is the next
frontier in our work to support local school districts on
developing plans that will help lower emissions, upgrade their
fleets, and implement the benefits of EVs and their related
infrastructure affordably. We look forward to working with Nuvve,
Resource Innovations, and various stakeholders in the region to
deploy new technologies that will help bring the environmental and
economic benefits of electric school buses into more
communities.”
ComEd’s V2G pilot comes as part of the company’s Beneficial
Electrification investments, setting forward a number of customer
EV rebate and education programs and innovative pilots to help
inform future planning and support a growing customer demand for
EVs and their related infrastructure. ComEd’s EV programs include
tens of millions in customer rebate programs aimed at lowering the
upfront costs of charging infrastructure and fleet projects. Since
last year, these programs have helped catalyze the addition of
3,500 EV charging ports across the region, and 200 added EV fleet
vehicles, including numerous school buses. ComEd’s EV programs are
mandated by the state of Illinois’ forward-looking Climate and
Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA), which includes a goal of reaching 1
million EVs on the roads by 2030. With ComEd’s support powering the
advancement of EVs, there are currently over 126,000 EVs in
Illinois, more than double the number registered in 2022.
“Resource Innovations brings its extensive expertise in
sustainable energy solutions to this initiative,” said Kelly
Helfrich, Vice President, Transportation Electrification Practice
at Resource Innovations. “This three-way collaboration exemplifies
our commitment to innovative, forward-thinking solutions that
address today’s energy challenges while preparing for a more
resilient and sustainable future.”
This pilot, together with previous high-impact projects with
Exelon, underscores a joint commitment to advancing clean energy
solutions and transforming the role of electric vehicles in grid
management.
