Last year, Blink introduced a new demand response feature, enhancing grid management alongside existing local load management capabilities. Load management facilitates cost reduction by sharing power among multiple chargers, while demand response enables hosts to engage in grid optimization programs. What is Demand Response?

Deployment of the CLEARgen system will enable Toyota to satisfy peak and mid-peak power needs using electricity from either the fuel cell system or from the power grid. It is estimated that the system will facilitate reduced consumption of peak grid power and avoidance of up to 10,000 tons of CO 2 emissions annually.

To reach the 80x30 goal, the US power grid would need to add between 60 and 80 GW of new clean power every year (double the record 35 GW of renewables added in 2020). Many have set renewable portfolio standards (RPSs), mandating that renewables make up a certain part of the power grid. It may seem daunting.
