scalability
Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA) recognized “Electrifying
School Buses in the Bronx” with the 2024 Power Player of the Year
award in the Transportation category. ESBB is a groundbreaking
project led by New York City School Bus Umbrella Services (NYCSBUS)
and its partners to put 25 zero emissions buses into service for
the community with advanced smart charging technology and
educational benefits for school bus operators and districts across
the region.

As the technical lead on the project, The Mobility House
accepted the award at the 2024 Power Players Awards ceremony in
Coronado, CA, hosted by SEPA, on behalf of NYCSBUS and project
partners including World Resources Institute, CALSTART, Bronx
Community College, New York League of Conservation Voters and South
Bronx Unite.
“NYCSBUS’s Zerega Depot is a great example of a project that
represents how the electrification of school bus fleets can benefit
communities everywhere,” said Greg Hintler, CEO of The Mobility
House North America. “We are proud to be involved in the project,
and grateful for its recognition as the Transportation Power Player
of the Year.”
The project demonstrates an innovative and replicable
technological approach to quickly and efficiently implement
electric school bus charging at a power-constrained site. With the
use of data-driven analysis and the application of automated load
management (ALM) technology, NYCSBUS can now charge up to 17 buses
at the Zerega depot, with 268 kW total nameplate charger capacity
installed at a site where the maximum load limit prescribed by the
utility provider is only 80 kW. This is the first time an ALM
oversubscribed site has been implemented in ConEd’s service
territory.
Without the use of ALM, NYCBUS would have only had power
capacity for 7 buses for the site. This project demonstrates the
technology's effectiveness in optimizing available utility
infrastructure and easing the installation of electric bus charging
equipment.
“As a nonprofit bus operator, we have a commitment to pursue
innovation in busing, including the implementation of advanced
technologies to support zero emissions vehicles to benefit our
drivers and the communities we serve,” said Matt Berlin, CEO of New
York City Schools Bus Umbrella Services (NYCSBUS). “We are proud to
have our electrification project recognized for its impact.”
“This project exemplifies the commitment to clean energy
leadership and innovation that is needed to progress a carbon-free
energy future, and SEPA is honored to recognize NYCSBUS, The
Mobility House, and the entire project team’s achievements at this
year's Power Players awards ceremony,” said Sheri Givens, President
and CEO of SEPA. “We received 124 nominations for all of the award
categories this year, making this transportation award a
significant achievement.”
