The Port Department of the City of Oakland, doing business as the Port of Oakland, received a $40,200,000 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration under the Port Infrastructure Development Program (CFDA 20.823). The grant will fund four key components: 1) Replacing an existing electrical substation and circuit within the port facility; 2) Constructing a new 12MW substation to integrate renewable power generation, support fleet electrification, and increase grid resiliency; 3) Designing and installing a 3MW, 12MWh battery storage system; and 4) Constructing a 2.7MW solar array. These infrastructure improvements are expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve environmental sustainability, and support the future redevelopment of the Oakland Army Base. There are no sub-awards associated with this grant. The project is scheduled for completion by May 12, 2032.
