Description
California Energy Commission’s Clean Transportation Program is awarding up to $40 million in grant funding to implement medium‑ and heavy‑duty zero‑emission vehicle (ZEV) infrastructure across the state. The Notice of Proposed Awards (June 29 2026) recommends $45.73 million in awards to eight awardees for projects such as hydrogen fueling stations, electric‑vehicle charging depots, rapid‑charging solutions for ports, and school‑bus charging facilities. Each awardee must provide matching funds (roughly 2–3 × the grant amount) and await final approval at a publicly‑noticed CEC Business Meeting before grant execution. This opportunity targets firms capable of designing, building, or operating MDHD ZEV infrastructure and managing large‑scale matching contributions.
• Funding totals $45.73 M across eight projects (award sizes $2.9 M–$8 M).
• Eligible work includes hydrogen fueling infrastructure, electric‑charging depots, rapid‑charging ports, and related site preparation, electrical upgrades, and monitoring systems.
• Projects must align with the previously‑developed GFO‑20‑601 blueprints and demonstrate required match funding.
