National Grid Launches Residential Electric Vehicle-to-Grid Pilot in Massachusetts Eversource, National Grid, EnergyHub, Sunrun and The Mobility House are partnering in Massachusetts to test a residential vehicle-to-grid program that lets qualifying National Grid and Eversource customers use V2G-capable EVs to send stored energy back to the grid during peak demand in return for incentives.
The pilot runs through the existing ConnectedSolutions program and is aimed at reducing grid strain and lowering system costs, while also paying participating drivers for their contribution to grid stability.
National Grid shares trade around £12.34, with the stock up about 6.6% year to date.
This V2G trial shows National Grid experimenting with new demand-side tools that could influence how much capital it needs for peak capacity and how it structures customer incentives and future grid programs if these approaches are adopted more widely.
