YAKIMA, Wash. (Oct 3, 2024) — In celebration of National Drive Electric Week, Pacific Power has announced available grant funding for electric mobility projects in named communities in Washington. Funding awards can cover up to 100% of the eligible costs associated with studying, planning, promoting or deploying electric transportation technology and projects.  

The grants aim to support projects that promote transportation electrification in communities, particularly those with limited public charging options. Recipients will take the lead on these projects, overseeing design, implementation, project management, equipment purchasing and installation, operations and maintenance, awareness initiatives, and data collection and transfer to Pacific Power. 

Applications are due by October 31, 2024. Find more details at PacificPower.net/EV-grants. 

Additionally, the technical assistance program is designed to support non-residential customers in their transition to electric vehicles.

Pacific Power aims to provide the necessary guidance and resources to facilitate a smooth and efficient shift towards sustainable transportation solutions.
