Electric transportation grant opportunities

Electric mobility funding awards can reduce the costs associated with studying, planning, promoting, or deploying electric transportation technology and projects. 

The grants are designed to support projects that advance electric transportation in underserved communities, including areas without ample access to public charging.

Funding for this grant is made possible by the Oregon Clean Fuels Program administered by the state Department of Environmental Quality. The goal of the Clean Fuels Program is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from Oregon’s transportation fuels. 

The 2024 application is now closed. Please check back in early 2025 for information on the next application cycle.

Anticipated timeline

Grant recipients will complete projects within 18 months from the date of award. Recipients may request an up-front payment of 75% of the total project amount, and 25% as the project is completed. (Please indicate your funding preference in the application.) 

Microgrants are available for grant writing support for nonresidential customers to apply to EV-related grants to support Pacific Power customers. Applicants for grant writing support should review the eligibility requirements, definitions, and terms and conditions before applying. The applicant will need to share plans about the project, describe how the project will benefit Pacific Power customers, and demonstrate a need for grant writing support.

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until funds are exhausted. 

Support may reimburse costs associated with internal or external support to write and develop a grant proposal to an entity other than Pacific Power. Up to 75% of the total award may be issued in advance. In order to receive the final grant writing support payment, a copy of the completed intended grant application must be sent to Pacific Power. 

All Pacific Power customers in Oregon on a nonresidential electric service schedule are eligible to apply. Preference is be given to community-focused organizations, such as 501(c)(3); city, county and regional governments with demonstrated need for funding; and nonprofit organizations and governmental entities serving or representing traditionally underserved communities and Pacific Power residential customers.
