Southern California Edison and Ford Team Up to Reward Electric Vehicle Customers for Supporting the Grid Page 1

Ford Motor Company electric vehicle owners and tenants in Southern California Edison’s (SCE) service territory now have the opportunity to be compensated for supporting the electric grid during peak energy demand periods. Ford is the first major U.S. automaker to facilitate customer participation in SCE’s Emergency Load Reduction Program (ELRP), part of the utility’s ongoing efforts to improve grid resiliency and advance vehicle grid integration (VGI).

Ford’s support for the ELRP (through Olivine, Inc., which manages distributed energy resources) demonstrates the growing importance of coordinated actions by the auto industry and utilities to support grid resilience as millions of electric vehicles enter the U.S. market. Ford offers electric vehicle customers participation in the ELRP through its California Power Response program.

California Power Response will benefit from Ford’s managed charging solution and is expected to provide a valuable source of load reduction during peak demand periods, benefiting the grid — and customers — while paving the way for future innovations in energy management and grid interaction. Drivers of electric vehicles in Ford’s California Power Response program will earn $1 per kWh of energy reduced during peak grid events, creating financial incentives never before possible with gas-powered vehicles.

“The future of the two-way grid is now. The electric industry has prepared the infrastructure and systems to take advantage of vehicle-to-grid integration, and there is hard work going on all sides to make that a reality,” said Steve Powell, president and CEO of SCE. “Ford’s support of the ELRP will demonstrate how electric vehicles can make the grid more resilient. The ELRP incentivizes electric vehicle drivers to send power from their car batteries to the grid when it’s needed most.”

“Becoming the first U.S. automaker to participate in the ELRP program through Ford’s California Power Response program is another example of how Ford is maximizing every possible benefit for our electric vehicle customers,” said Bill Crider, senior director, global charging and energy services, Ford Motor Company. “Electric vehicles can deliver cost savings through incentives offered by leading utilities like Southern California Edison, and current vehicle-to-home and near-future vehicle-to-grid services offer even more benefits for customers, the grid and communities at large.”
