EV Charger in FRP Utility Pole Trial

Discover how a first-of-its-kind charger for electric vehicles (EV) has been integrated into an FRP utility pole and how this will help solve the demand for services especially in regional communities.  During this webinar you will learn:

• Why innovators are now looking to utility poles over earlier trials using light poles
• How this in-pole design eliminates the need for civil works or additional street furniture
• Why Essential Energy chose a Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) utility pole for the trial
• The hurdles to networks looking to integrate EV charges and regulatory steps to overcome them
• What this technology means for the rollout of EV charges especially in regional, rural and remote areas

Featuring guest speakers, Essential Energy’s Manager of Innovation, Brad Trethewey, Innovation Senior Analyst, Stuart Simpson and Principal Engineer – Innovation, Paddy Atkinson.

This webinar will include a 30-minute formal presentation followed by 15-minutes of interactive Q&A.

Attendance at this session may be able to be counted toward Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
