MD/HD Transport Electrification Investment Assessment

The Environmental Defense Fund partnered with Black & Veatch and Energeia to identify the impacts of the anticipated increased electrification on the electric grid system.

The Environmental Defense Fund engaged Black & Veatch and Energeia to develop a model to support the evaluation of the potential utility costs and cost savings generated from 3+ optimized utility policies, programs, and plans by utilizing data from two major partner utilities (with customer bases of 2-5 million) to analyze proactive investment in grid upgrades and the associated impacts on MHDV transportation fleets and third-party rate payers.

Key highlights:
  • Advanced Clean Trucks (ACT) regulation: Pushing for zero-emission vehicle sales.
  • Proactive grid planning: Anticipating and supporting future load growth.
  • Long-term benefits: Cost savings and reliable infrastructure for EV fleet owners and utilities.
