Utility Business Models
Utilities need sustainable business models that facilitate
and support a carbon-free energy future.
About SEPA - Four Key Pathways
Regulatory Innovation
State regulatory processes must be flexible and agile,
enabling the timely and effective deployment of new technologies, partnerships
and business models.
Grid Integration
Clean energy must be easily integrated and result in maintained or improved
levels of affordability, safety, security, reliability, resiliency
and customer satisfaction.
Transportation Electrification
The nation’s fleet of light, medium and
heavy-duty vehicles should be powered by carbon-free electricity.

Forms of Managed Charging
Passive managed charging relies on customer behavior to affect charging patterns.
Active managed charging relies on communication (i.e., “dispatch”) signals originating from a utility or aggregator to be sent to a vehicle or charger to control charging in a predetermined specific way.
Passive Active
EV time-varying rates, including time-of-use rates and hourly dynamic rates
Direct load control via the charging device
Communication to customer to voluntarily reduce charging load (e.g., behavioral demand response event)
Direct load control via automaker telematics
Incentive programs rewarding off-peak charging
Direct load control via a smart circuit breaker or panel

A Changing IndustryAutomotive Original
Equipment ManufacturersNetwork Service Providers EV Charger Manufacturers
NSPs are one of the fastest growing sector within the EV
charging industry - 3X increase in two years.
NSPs are constantly developing new features that provide value
to consumers and utilities.
NSPs serve as an interface with consumer and can more easily aggregate chargers across a
service territory.
Managed charging-capable EVSE went from ⅓ of market to
⅔ of market in two years.
Growing supply of Level 2 and light-duty vehicle DC Fast
Chargers.
Limited managed charging supply of Level 1 and
medium/heavy-duty vehicle DC Fast Chargers.
Demonstration pilot programs managing residential and fleet charging based on consumer
preferences.
Program cost considerations for expensive monthly telematics
subscription charges.

Looking Forward
• Provide EV education and awareness to their consumers• Participate in the managed charging communication standards
development process• Engage vendors to share utility needs and learnings from other
comparable DER efforts• Provide a test bed or pilot effort for new solutions• Develop solutions to integrate EV charging into demand response systems• Continue to evolve rate structures matched with active load management
strategies• Encourage greater deployment of managed charging-capable
infrastructure among customers
