However, this assumes the power will be available when needed. Some facilities may be able to take advantage of off-peak charging for reduced rates. With the objective to lower overall energy costs and avoid unwanted peak and demand charges from the grid. An on-site microgrid gives a facility control over its energy supply chain, this allowing it to minimize utility usage during peak times and avoid energy concentration to the grid. This includes but not limited to:Įffective energy transition to electric vehicles, utilities and facilities needs a smart microgrid strategy to support fleet charging.

The related electrical infrastructure requirements for EV charging will be the big challenge.

Facilities making the switch to EV fleets do need a plan for supporting the increased electric load.
