How does Electric Miles help the National Grid?
Electric Miles plays a vital role in supporting the National Grid, particularly within the context of the UK’s highly congested electricity grid. Here’s how:
- Eases Grid Congestion: By enabling users to shift their charging to off-peak times, Electric Miles helps alleviate the strain on the grid during peak demand periods, reducing the need for costly infrastructure upgrades.
- Facilitates Renewable Energy Integration: Our platform promotes the use of renewable energy sources, such as solar power, by aligning charging schedules with solar output. This helps smooth out fluctuations in energy supply, enhancing grid stability and resilience.
- Offers Grid-Scale Energy Storage: Through our SmartFlex platform, Electric Miles turns aggregated EV batteries into virtual power plants, providing additional flexibility and capacity to the grid. Users participating in Demand Side Flexibility (DSF) programs actively support grid balancing and sustainability efforts.
- Enhances Grid Stability and Sustainability: By optimizing charging schedules, integrating renewables, and offering innovative energy management solutions, Electric Miles contributes to a more stable and sustainable energy system.
Electric Miles not only eases pressure on the National Grid but also supports the transition to a greener, more resilient future.
