The 500-megawatt (MW) HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) Light transmission connection is the highest capacity link of its kind, based on voltage source converter (VSC) technology, to go into commercial operation. The new link also facilitates power trading between the two countries and connects Ireland to the European grid.

As it stands, the power grid is already run-down and outdated , built for the electric loads of a century ago, not for modern life. Shifting to EVs poses a unique problem for the grid: a sudden, massive increase in demand that will be unpredictable and piecemeal. This saves the fleet owner money, and saves the power grid some stress.

The bill, SB-233 , aims to advance grid resilience and protect the climate by using EVs as “batteries on wheels,” tapping their stored energy to balance electricity supply and demand rather than bringing high-polluting peak generators online. Vehicle-to-building works much the same way but on a larger scale.

When an EV is plugged into a charger, it can give back energy to the power grid or any other required places during peak demand and only charge when the overall demand is lower.  They may take up a lot of clean energy produced by solar panels during the day and return it to the grid at night. There is yet another element at play.
