California is expanding PG&E's pilot program that enables electric vehicle owners to sell stored energy back to the grid using bidirectional charging technology, aiming to contribute to the state's clean energy storage capacity and meet ambitious storage targets.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

PG&E's push to expand vehicle-to-grid programs opens a new market for electric vehicle-related energy sales and storage services. If you develop charging tech or grid software, this is the moment to engage utilities and owners directly.
