Towards a Net Zero and Resilient New Brunswick Grid via Vehicle to X Technology
December 2023 – March 2025
Efforts to boost intermittent renewables and electric vehicle (EV) adoption in the New Brunswick (NB) grid will indeed reduce emissions, however, it will also result in irregular electricity patterns that are highly localized and volatile, thus threatening grid stability and slowing emission redu
