Pollution Probe will conduct a technical analysis to estimate the grid infrastructure requirements for school bus electrification in Calgary, collaborating with the local utility, school boards and fleet operators. This initiative will estimate anticipated grid loads, enabling approximate estimates of necessary grid upgrades. Findings will be compiled in a detailed report that aims to facilitate informed decision-making and advocate for policy improvements, break down financial barriers and accelerate the transition to cleaner, healthier electric school transportation.
