Policy Manual for Grid Integration of Electric Vehicles Launch

Background

Under the framework of the Global Environment Facility programme aimed at supporting low- and middle-income economies in their transition to electric mobility, the IEA launches the policy manual for grid integration of electric vehicle charging. It aims to serve as a guide for policy makers to effectively integrate electric vehicle charging into the grid, thereby supporting road transport electrification and decarbonisation. The key steps can be summarised as preparing institutions for the shift to electric mobility, assessing the impacts on the grid, deploying measures for grid integration and improving power system planning. Each of these steps is informed by insights from various studies and inputs from international stakeholders, with recommendations based on best practices from around the world.
