Port of Hueneme "Goes Electric," receiving an impressive $42,287,893 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), funding critical to the Port's goal of zero emissions by 2030. The EPA announced today its intent to award $3 billion to help the nation's ports through the agency's Clean Ports Program. This new grant funding initiative builds on the EPA's Ports Initiative to bolster the nation's ports.
"Our nation's ports are critical to creating opportunity here in America, offering good-paying jobs, moving goods, and powering our economy," said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. "Today's historic $3 billion investment builds on President Biden's vision of growing our economy while ensuring America leads in globally competitive solutions of the future. Delivering cleaner technologies and resources to U.S. ports will slash harmful air and climate pollution while protecting people who work in and live nearby ports communities."
