Objective

The project aims to support the government of a partner country in developing a comprehensive National Strategy for EV Charging Infrastructure Development. The assignment covers baseline assessments, EV adoption scenarios, grid impact analysis, regulatory gap analysis, and pre-feasibility studies for pilot charging projects to foster a sustainable green transport transition.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct a dedicated Power System Impact Assessment examining the implications of EV deployment on electricity demand, grid infrastructure, system operation, and demand response.
• Assess the likely additional demand for electricity and the potential need for power generation capacity due to transport electrification across different adoption scenarios.
• Identify key technical constraints and likely investment needs for transmission and distribution grids, including network reinforcement and grid connection costs for public and private charging infrastructure.
• Evaluate opportunities for introducing smart charging, time-of-use tariffs, peak load management, and other demand response mechanisms to optimize grid performance.
• Analyze existing legislation and market arrangements governing electricity purchase, resale, pricing, and tariff structures for EV charging.
• Assess regulatory challenges for charging infrastructure owners and operators in accessing the electricity grid, securing supplies, and providing ancillary grid services.
• Prepare clear, concise technical deliverables (e.g., grid impact reports, tariff assessments) and actively contribute to stakeholder consultations and internal quality reviews.
