Electric Transportation Interest Group
The PLMA Electric Transportation Interest Group addresses the growing popularity of electric transportation and its impacts on demand response, grid reliability, and beneficial electrification. Participants in this Interest Group's activities collaborate to develop a deeper understanding, and share best practices, on how utilities and vendors can most effectively work together. Though this Interest Group, PLMA member practitioners also gain knowledge from industry experts who address trends related to both electric transportation and to the infrastructure and data needs for deploying light- and heavy-duty electric fleets.

Upcoming Activities
HOT TOPIC Conversation: Designing Effective EV Managed Charging Programs
Featuring PLMA's Electric Transportation Co-Chair Nick Bengston and
Guest Speakers Sanem Sergici of The Brattle Group and Eamonn Urey of Salt River Project
Thursday, October 28, 2021 | 2:00 to 3:00 pm ET / 11:00 am to 12:00 pm PT
Managing the peak load impacts of EVs is crucial to maximizing the cost effectiveness of electrification. Utilities can play an active role in managing local and system-wide peak load impacts of EVs by developing and deploying managed charging programs. We will present the framework and key takeaways from our recent experience with a leading electric utility analyzing the potential system-level cost savings, the incentives necessary to atract customers, and the potential scale of the peak load reductions as EVs enter the market.

For this first conversation, Joyce Bodoh, Director of Energy Solutions and Clean Energy at Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC), will present REC's survey results and load data on electric vehicles from its Virginia service area. She will also discuss REC's roadmap on transportation electrification, and will share tips on member engagement. The group co-chairs will then host a discussion to share ideas, thoughts, and suggestions around topical and relevant issues for PLMA to explore throughout 2021. Join us for this first look at electric transportation and its role in demand response and load management.
