SCALE is launching a joint procurement programme which is a series of events focused on Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Implementation and Procurement specifically designed for those responsible for public charging infrastructure (destination charging) in cities and regions—whether from local authorities or grid operators.
We are looking for members to join! Are you interested?
If so, register for the first bidirectional cities online webinar here, where we will start digging into needs assessment, procurement requirements and connecting with each other. You will be able to know more about this initiative!
Why should you join?
- Tailored Insights: Learn how to integrate V2G technology effectively with procurement guidelines, technical requirements, and real-world case studies from other cities.

Next Steps
Register now for the first bidirectional cities webinar here.
It will be an engaging discussion on October 3rd, 2024, from 14:00 to 15:30 CET. This session will focus on the needs and priorities of European cities and grid operators when it comes to advancing V2G technology. We will also share key procurement requirements and invite your input as we work together to draft guidelines for a joint procurement programme.
This is a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and explore the next steps your city or region can take to implement V2G solutions. Your feedback will help shape practical steps and guide the development of the programme. Let’s collaborate to make V2G a reality in your area! It will be facilitated by representatives from the City of Utrecht, a front runner on public V2G charging infrastructure
After this first webinar, SCALE will approach you with further information if you are interested to join other planned events and know more about the programme.
