2024 was huge for vehicle to grid. Here's 5 ways the year that was turned the EV into a power plant:

In its first monitoring report on electricity infrastructure development, ACER finds that gaps between planned investment and grid needs threaten both timely decarbonisation and affordable energy and that several measures should be introduced to accelerate the investments.

UK utility National Grid has published its RIIO-T3 business plan for its National Grid Electricity Transmission (NGET) business, earmarking up to £35 billion ($44.3 billion) over the next five years to March 2031. The £35 billion includes a baseline investment of over £11 billion ($13.9 billion) to maintain and upgrade the company’s existing networks, alongside construction works for the first three of their Accelerated Strategic Transmission Investment (ASTI) projects where project assessments have been approved. It also includes a pipeline investment of around £24 billion ($30.4 billion), which includes around £15 billion ($19 billion) to increase network capacity, most of which relates to the 14 further confirmed ASTI projects.

Optimising the grid with advanced intelligence Grid attention is shifting from high to medium and low voltage as increasing levels of new renewable generation – up to an estimated 70% by 2030 – are connected at these levels and making digitalisation a priority. In an interview, Gridspertise CEO Robert Denda discusses advancements in MV/LV grid digitalisation, the solutions to the risks of traditional electricity system digitalisation and future innovations with edge intelligence and AI to enhance electricity grid management.
