Port of Los Angeles Secures $400 Million Grant to Electrify Operations

The grant, part of a $3 billion initiative, aims to reduce emissions and create jobs by transitioning to zero-emission equipment.

The Port of Los Angeles received the largest portion of the $3 billion Clean Ports grants, securing $411 million to support electrification efforts.
The funding will help replace diesel-powered cargo-moving equipment with over 400 electric alternatives, reducing significant emissions.
The initiative is expected to prevent the burning of 3.5 million gallons of diesel annually and cut carbon emissions by 41,500 tons per year.
These efforts align with the Biden administration's Inflation Reduction Act and aim to improve air quality and support union jobs.
Additional investments include expanding charging infrastructure, with plans to install 300 electric chargers and other renewable energy systems.
