Irish Regulator approves €25m project to assess impact of electrical vehicles on Distribution Network

On Feb 5th  the Irish Commission for Energy Regulation approved a €25m programme to assess the impact of electrical vehicles on the electrical distribution system:

“The purpose of the pilot programme is to support learning about EV technology, expected interaction with the Distribution network in terms of safety, connection standards, mobile load measurement, controllability and ICT and user behaviour. The learning from the pilot will inform DSO planning in relation to distribution network design and management and will  also help inform if and when any policy changes are required.”
