Turning eMobility Investments Today into Revenue Makers Tomorrow

Utilities across North America are investing heavily in electric vehicle infrastructure, but the long-term value of those investments depends on how effectively EV load is integrated into the grid and customer programs. In this session, Orange & Rockland’s Andrew Farrell shares how the utility is approaching eMobility as a strategic growth opportunity.

Through initiatives such as its PowerReady make-ready program, managed charging incentives, and advanced charger siting tools, O&R is accelerating EV adoption while ensuring charging demand supports grid reliability and long-term revenue growth. The discussion will explore how utilities can move beyond compliance-driven electrification and begin designing programs that create new load, improve asset utilization, and position EVs as a core component of the future utility business model.
