Cobourg, Ontario: Member of Parliament for Northumberland–Peterborough South, Kim Rudd, announced a $2-million investment by Natural Resources Canada in Sky Solar Canada Ltd. November 30 for a total of 12 solar-powered electric vehicle charging stations at five sites across Ontario. Three of the sites are located in Cobourg, one in Markham and one in Oxford Station.
Many of the charging stations are bi-directional, which means they will also be able to deliver energy from the battery to the electricity grid. The demonstration project will help identify economic benefits of bi-directional charging.
