The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) has been awarded $4.4 million from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Clean Heavy-Duty Vehicles Program to deploy 15 all-electric recycling trucks, along with 15 charging stations to support the fleet, across Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne counties. These cutting-edge clean vehicles will replace aging diesel-powered vehicles, reducing air pollution, protecting public health, and cutting costs while helping the state achieve the goals of the MI Healthy Climate Plan.
The Port of Los Angeles has been awarded an unprecedented $412 million grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s Clean Ports Program to support the zero-emission (ZE) transition at the nation’s busiest trade gateway. The Port and its private sector partners will match the EPA grant with an additional $236 million, bringing the total new investment in ZE programs at the Port of Los Angeles to $644 million.
The project will fund the engineering and installation of infrastructure for approximately 173 electric micro mobility charging and storage stations at 53 outdoor New York City Housing Authority sites. Engineering and construction aspects include electrical supply, utilities, drainage, fire safety requirements, security, safety, lighting, and accessibility.
The town of Deerfield, MA, installed four fast chargers to serve drivers who need a quick charge and four Level 2 chargers to serve those visiting nearby tourist attractions.
Texas’ first National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) site opened yesterday in Happy, along Interstate 27 between Lubbock and Amarillo. The new charging station, owned and operated by Impower Connection, marks a pivotal step in accelerating EV infrastructure buildout in rural areas and ensuring all Texans have access to reliable charging options. Officials from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) ABB E-mobility, Impower Connection and Lonestar Electric Supply cut the ribbon on four Terra 184 chargers manufactured by ABB E-mobility.
The Northwest Seaport Alliance, the agency overseeing the Port of Seattle and the Port of Tacoma, will receive $12 million to develop one or more shared electric truck charging hubs. These hubs will serve a network of about 4,500 heavy-duty trucks that provide cargo hauling services to the ports of Seattle and Tacoma. The project also will help reduce emissions from an estimated 300 diesel trucks, including greenhouse gas emissions that disproportionately impact disadvantaged, overburdened communities near the seaports and along major freight corridors between Seattle and Tacoma.
The M Public Transit System in Montgomery, AL received $16.9 million from the FTA Low No Emission Program to replace aging buses with new electric buses, purchase charging equipment, and implement a workforce training program.
The Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) announced it received a $22.8 million grant award from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Transit Administration (FTA) that for the first time will fund 10 new hydrogen fuel cell electric buses (FCEBs) to COTA and the region. The award will also support the construction of a new hydrogen fueling station at the McKinley Avenue facility, and help fund an additional 10 electric buses, all of which will help COTA achieve its goals to transition to a zero-emission bus fleet by 2035 and achieve net-zero carbon neutrality by 2045.
Originally built in 2003, Stovroff Towers is a four-story, 74,000 square-foot senior living facility located in Amherst, NY. WinnDevelopment (Winn) plans to acquire the Property and implement a comprehensive renovation, converting the 120 single occupancy units into eight (8) studio apartments and fifty-eight (58) one-bedroom apartments, while investing in high-efficiency, low-carbon upgrades. The retrofit project prioritizes high-performance envelope upgrades and efficient electrification to transform Stovroff Towers and reduce site energy use intensity (EUI) by 78.30%. The project will be financed in part with low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) equity, allowing the decarbonization strategies to be implemented in a single, holistic renovation slated for completion by 2027.
