Medium- and Heavy-Duty vehicle (MHDV) electrification has the potential to put downward pressure on electric utility rates, provide valuable grid services, save money for fleet owners, and reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. However, grid infrastructure investments and capacity are major factors in the pace of MHDV electrification and the success of policies like the Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) rule.
Join us for an informational webinar where we’ll explore the critical findings from our forthcoming study “Powering Change: A Framework for Estimating Distribution System Impacts of the Advanced Clean Trucks Rule and Medium- and Heavy-Duty Vehicle Electrification.” The webinar will present a framework for assessing and managing the impact of MHDV electrification on the electric grid, featuring case studies from Pennsylvania and Illinois. Our panelists will share insights on necessary grid upgrades, cost management, and overcoming regulatory challenges.
Through the webinar, audience members will:
- Gain a better understanding of the comprehensive framework for evaluating the impact of the ACT rule on the electric grid in their state
- Explore methodologies for assessing grid impacts and managing electrification costs
- Learn about collaborative strategies to facilitate a smooth transition to MHDV electrification.
