CEC solicitation to fund deployment of hydrogen refueling infrastructure for light-, medium-, and heavy-duty on-road fuel cell electric vehicles. Strong fit for clean transportation infrastructure, demonstration deployment, and commercialization support.
The solicitation objectives are to:
Deploy new hydrogen refueling infrastructure for light-duty (LD) vehicles, with an emphasis on stations located in Santa Monica/West Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, and San Diego to alleviate market stress due to station demand, as well as medium-duty (MD) vehicles, or for heavy-duty (HD) uses including drayage, transit, and port operations. New hydrogen refueling infrastructure can also be a combination of the infrastructure types (mixed-use) listed above.
Reopen temporarily non-operational (TNO) stations that would otherwise not return to open retail status.
Provide additional funding for stations awarded under CEC Grant Funding Opportunity (GFO)-19-602 which are fully permitted and lacking capital to finish construction.
Provide operations and maintenance (O&M) funding for the projects listed above once the station becomes open retail.
