This $48,763,746 Project Grant award from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Clean Ports Program (CFDA 66.051) will support the Georgia Ports Authority in enhancing air quality and mitigating pollution at the Port of Savannah and Port of Brunswick. The funding will be used to purchase and deploy zero-emission equipment and infrastructure, including 16 zero-emission port terminal tractors, 18 175 kW fast charging systems, and three pad-mounted transformers, pad-mounted switchgear, and additional switchgear. Additionally, the project will include workforce development activities. The expected outcomes include reduced emissions of carbon dioxide, particulate matter, sulfur oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides, as well as decreased fuel consumption. The project partners include TICO, which will provide port terminal tractors and associated equipment, and Georgia Power, which will ensure electricity demand needs are met.
