We quickly ran into a challenge that will be familiar to anyone working on depot electrification: power. Electrifying a bus depot like Caledonia requires roughly the same grid connection as a housing estate of around 5,000 homes. Given local grid constraints, the initial message from the distribution network operator, SP Energy Networks (SPEN), was clear - the capacity simply wasn’t available any time soon, and reinforcing the network could take many years.
Due to heavy traffic on the diversion route, we currently have services running late.
