EL CAJON – San Diego Gas & Electric, the Cajon Valley Union School District and local technology company Nuvve began a technology project Tuesday allowing eight electric school buses to put electricity back on the power grid when needed, such as on hot summer days.
As part of the five-year pilot project, SDG&E installed six 60kW bi- directional DC fast chargers at Cajon Valley’s bus yard in El Cajon. In addition to Cajon Valley, SDG&E is also working with the San Diego Unified and Ramona Unified school districts on V2G projects. “We jumped at the opportunity to be part of this pilot project because of its potential to help us build a healthier community and better serve our students,” said Scott Buxbaum, the district’s assistant superintendent. “If we are able to reduce our energy and vehicle maintenance costs as a result of this project, it frees up more resources for our schools and students.”
