Infrastructure
Apply for a Clean Air Grant to install an electric charging station, a hydrogen fueling station, or infrastructure to support agricultural pump electrification.
Eligibility Criteria
- Eligible project types include agricultural pump electrification and battery charging or hydrogen fueling stations. Single-family residential projects are not eligible for funds.
- The project must be installed and located in Placer County.
- Infrastructure projects will be subject to a competitive review process conducted by District staff.
- Incomplete and/or late applications will be disqualified. Projects that do not meet the eligibility requirements listed in the application or within the Carl Moyer Guidelines will be ineligible for review.
- Project funds may be oversubscribed, which means not all eligible projects will receive funding. Should more qualifying projects be received than can be funded, it will be at the discretion of the Air Pollution Control Officer to make final award determinations.
