Yes, certainly. Thank you. I'll answer in English.
This is a new and exciting area for Canada. We have some exciting progress in different parts of the country. Nova Scotia Power conducted a bidirectional charging pilot a few years ago. Just last year, BC Hydro demonstrated a bus that was providing power back to the grid.
This is an important emerging area that's showing a lot of promise. The utilities that we work with across the country are paying a lot of attention to this and see EVs as an overall net benefit to the grid. The increased demand during off-peak times, when there's spare capacity, increases revenue for the electric utility to help pay for all the fixed costs. Our analysis suggests that thanks to that, and with careful management of EV load growth, we can actually drive electricity costs down for all consumers.
There are important steps to be taken. We're helping to coordinate a nationwide effort to seek coordination on vehicle grid integration across the country. We'll be tackling such issues as the communications standards that are required to support this, cybersecurity issues and how to make the business case for these types of programs and policies.
