The Fresno Economic Opportunities Commission (EOC) unveiled an energy project in West Central Fresno that will allow them to power their operations and electrify its fleet of vehicles.
The aim of the project is to improve air quality, reduce operational costs, and supply additional electricity to the grid during peak hours.
Fresno EOC has partnered with Nuvve for the project, a global technology leader accelerating the electrification of transportation with its proprietary vehicle-to-grid (V2G) platform.
Nuvve Co-founder and CEO Gregory Polisane said that the main purpose of the project is to provide needed energy resiliency for the grid.
The capacity for the project will be 2.6 megawatt of solar generation and 1.6 megawatt hours of battery storage.
Nuvve said that the Fresno area is underserved and suffering from poor air quality, making clean transportation essential.
“Clean transportation cannot happen without any way of controlling the cost of the grids that are otherwise going to be required,” Polisane said.
