In a recent episode, we talked to Jeremy Kureluk of Rental Bus Lines about how much they like their electric buses and how they hoped one day to connect them to a virtual power plant to feed electricity to the grid. Turns out this is already happening in Canada.
Rob Safrata owns a tour bus company and he too wants to go electric. So he started FUSE Power Management, based in Vancouver, to set up the infrastructure and contracts needed to use electric buses as virtual power plants which makes going electric even more lucrative.
Peaking power is valuable and fleets of electric buses parked during the evening peak electricity period could make revenue helping the grid when it needs electricity.
