EV Adoption
Fred Gomos is Director Strategy and Risk Integration, Energy and Utilities at NiSource.
The Public Utilities Fortnightly team asked the same five broad questions of eighteen experts from twelve utilities. We found it so interesting to compare these dozen discussions, the commonalities, and the differences too. Read on to see what's up with EVs at Arizona Public Service, Avangrid, CMS Energy, Commonwealth Edison, Con Edison, Duquesne Light, Idaho Power, National Grid, NiSource, Portland General Electric, Puget Sound Energy, and Southern Company.
And we wish to express PUF's gratitude to Bidgely, the energy intelligence and EV solutions company, that sponsored this special feature, and made it possible for us to bring it to you.
PUF's Steve Mitnick: What's the goal of NiSource's EV programs?
Fred Gomos: We have five goals around transportation electrification, and these are all equally important. When we think about all our initiatives with respect to transportation electrification for our customers, we want all our programs to drive toward accomplishing these five goals.
The first is around risk mitigation. We want to proactively understand and identify where EV charging is happening on our electric system and have a good understanding of the implication to the system from a reliability and service delivery perspective.
