WeaveGrid launches managed charging program for North Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives

WeaveGrid, a grid orchestration software provider for electric utilities, has launched a managed charging program in partnership with North Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives, an organization that supports the state’s 26 community-based electric cooperatives.

The new program, EVConnectNC, allows members of participating cooperatives to earn incentives by charging their EVs during off-peak hours.

EVConnectNC uses connected vehicle and charger data to help cooperatives monitor charging patterns and encourage members to shift electricity use to lower-cost periods. The program is already operating at two North Carolina cooperatives, Roanoke Electric Cooperative and South River EMC.

North Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives and its member utilities operate the program, and WeaveGrid provides the software platform.

Utility customers enrolled in the program can earn up to $120 annually by charging at least 90% of the time during off-peak hours and using a minimum of 200 kilowatt-hours per month.

At the moment, the program appears to work only with certain EVs, including models from Dodge, Jeep, Lexus, Tesla and Toyota; and certain home chargers, including models from ChargePoint, Emporia and Wallbox.

EVConnectNC also provides participating cooperatives with information about the effects of EV charging on their electrical systems. WeaveGrid’s grid orchestration software is designed to help utilities manage increasing electricity demand by aligning consumption with available grid capacity. Through its Distribution-Integrated System Capacity Orchestration (DISCO) platform, the company provides asset-level visibility and device-level control to manage EVs, batteries and other flexible electrical loads.

“As member-owned, not-for-profit utilities, electric cooperatives have a long history of embracing innovative solutions that deliver value to our members,” said Nikki Lynberg, Manager of Innovation and Business Development for North Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives.
