This $5,957,103 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Clean Ports Program (CFDA 66.051) will enable the Connecticut Port Authority to improve air quality and reduce pollution at the New London State Pier and surrounding area. The key activities funded include the purchase and installation of one zero-emission mobile shore power cable positioning device and one shore power vault that will provide 6.6 kilovolts (kV) and 400 volts (V) of service to vessels. Additionally, the grant supports community and stakeholder engagement, and workforce development training and programming. The subrecipient, Orsted, will provide project management, engineering, permitting, and construction management services. The anticipated outcomes include reduced carbon dioxide, particulate matter, and nitrogen oxide emissions, as well as increased community involvement, public awareness, and job creation in the port operations workforce.
