ComEd will leverage data collected from these advanced, bidirectional chargers to examine the technology that could unleash the possibility of discharging energy stored in electric school buses safely and effectively back to the grid. Bidirectional charging could allow school districts in the future to reduce their load during peak energy demand periods, helping customers lower both energy usage and costs.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;As one of the early adopters of electric buses in Illinois, we&#8217;ve faced our share of challenges over the past three years. We&#8217;re hopeful that, with the continued support of the ComEd and Nuvve teams, we are finally turning a corner toward realizing the full potential of our electric bus program,\u201d said <b>Rick Strauss, director of transportation, Wauconda CUSD 118<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cTroy CCSD 30-C is proud to partner with ComEd on this innovative Vehicle-to-Grid pilot.
