1. A system comprising:
a behind-the-meter charging station including a charging interface configured to supply charging power from a power generation system prior to the power undergoing step-up transformation for transmission to a grid;
a control system configured to modulate power delivery to the behind-the-meter charging station based on one or more monitored power system conditions or an operational directive; and
a communication unit configured to trigger a notification based on power availability at the charging station.
