Grid balancing ensures that the energy supply meets the volume of energy demanded. In the short run, when utilities cannot balance their local grids, they must buy energy on the open market – an expensive OPEX proposition – to meet immediate demand and prevent outages. How can EV charging service providers help achieve grid balancing?
