Thursday, August 28, 2025

Time: 04:00 pm - 05:30 pm
Hall: 2nd floor
Room: Cantareira 3

Electric vehicles can either strain ill-equipped power grids or serve as valuable assets in the energy transition. This session will examine how the energy industry can collaborate with mobility to unlock new opportunities, from participating in the distributed generation and demand response markets to seizing opportunities in storage, dynamic pricing, and integration with smart grids. It will also address how infrastructure and market policies can be aligned to foster efficient synergies.
