Description
The California Energy Commission (CEC) issued a revised Notice of Proposed Awards (NOPA) for its Clean Transportation Program (GFO‑24‑612). The program funds the design, construction, and operation of depot‑level electric‑vehicle (EV) charging stations and hydrogen‑fuel refueling stations to support medium‑ and heavy‑duty on‑road zero‑emission vehicles (ZEVs) across California. A total of $55.7 M in grants was proposed, with individual award amounts ranging from roughly $2 M to $8 M and required applicant cost‑share (“match”) ranging from 20 % to 60 % of project cost. Projects must be distinct from other CEC‑funded agreements and are contingent on approval at a publicly noticed CEC Business Meeting and execution of a grant agreement.
• Scope: Deploy depot‑charging and hydrogen‑refueling infrastructure for medium‑ and heavy‑duty ZEV fleets (trucks, buses, drayage).
• Funding: Competitive grant awards; total award pool $55.7 M; individual awards $2 M‑$8 M plus required match (up to $14.6 M).
• Eligibility: Public agencies, transit districts, air‑quality districts, private logistics firms, and other eligible entities operating in California.
• Process: Original solicitation released March 28 2025, application deadline March 20 2026, NOPA issued June 29 2026, revised NOPA September 10 2026. Final award pending Business Meeting approval and grant agreement execution.
