Councils may fund grid upgrades for EVs....
The proposal to invest in the grid follows a report by consultant Asset Utilities that concluded the area’s electricity network will not cope with future demand.
It concluded that additional demand, notably driven by the electrification of transport, could almost triple the existing electricity demand in the Greater Cambridge area, from 240MW to 710MW by 2031.
“It is clear that the electricity network as designed, is unable to meet the future electrical demand requirements or the changing face of technology (EV connections) in Greater Cambridge,” said UKPN.
It identified a need for three new substations and a new East Cambridge interconnector. The preliminary estimated cost, excluding land acquisition, of the investments is about £44m. Land could add a further £1.5m, the GCP believes.
