New EV Charging Microgrid to Support Bus Electrification for Brooklyn Schools

Con Edison and First Student have launched a demonstration project in Brooklyn to support electric school bus infrastructure, marking a significant shift from diesel to renewable energy sources. The initiative will deploy 12 electric buses equipped with solar panels, replacing diesel buses at First Student’s Malta Street location. A smart energy hub powered by solar arrays will manage energy storage, generation, and delivery, integrating Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) technology that enhances energy flow for community needs, especially during peak periods or emergencies. By leveraging above-ground infrastructure, First Student’s First Charge solution aims to cut costs by 30% and reduce grid strain while allowing for scalable future expansions. The project intends to pave the way for grid modernization, with plans to convert 30,000 school buses to electric by 2035.
