First Bus in the UK is utilizing electric bus depots to support the national grid by supplying electricity when buses are not in use. This initiative also helps in better utilization of excess renewable energy, particularly from wind power. Chief Sustainability Officer Isabel McAllister highlighted the potential of electric buses to enhance the energy system and reduce wasted renewable energy. First Bus operates over 1,400 zero-emission vehicles and aims for a fully zero-emission fleet by 2035, contributing to lower air pollution and road safety.
