Shore Power at Pier 66

Ecology awarded a $1.6M grant to the Port of Seattle to install shore power at Pier 66.

Shore power allows ships to plug in while at berth, using clean electricity instead of dirty marine fuel. These projects will reduce harmful emissions in near-port communities.

Shore Power at Husky Terminal

Ecology awarded $1.15M to the Northwest Seaport Alliance to install shore power at Husky Terminal.

Shore power allows ships to plug in while at berth, using clean electricity instead of dirty marine fuel. These projects will reduce harmful emissions in near-port communities.

Shore Power at Terminal 46

Ecology awarded $2M to the Northwest Seaport Alliance to install shore power at Terminal 46.

Shore power allows ships to plug in while at berth, using clean electricity instead of dirty marine fuel. These projects will reduce harmful emissions in near-port communities.

Washington State Ferries

Ecology has a grant in place with Washington State Ferries (WSF) for $35 million to convert the first Washington Jumbo Mark II ferry, the largest class of vessel in the fleet, to hybrid-electric power. WSF has secured separate funding for the shore power infrastructure that will allow this ferry to operate fully on electric power.

WSF will now electrify the entire state ferry fleet by 2050. This grant is a pivotal investment in the state’s efforts to improve regional air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Electric Fire Engine Projects

In partnership with the Clean Diesel Program, we awarded $1.3M in grants to two Washington fire departments to help replace two diesel fire engines with electric models. 

Bellevue Fire Department

Ecology awarded $648,578.63 to Bellevue Fire to scrap and replace an old diesel fire engine with a new, electric fire engine. The grant also covers part of charging infrastructure costs. The project is still in progress.

“The Bellevue Fire Department is excited to be one of the first in the nation to bring an electric fire engine onboard. As a department that is truly committed to protecting its community, we are excited to continue providing emergency care, while reducing the long-term health effects of diesel exhaust for our community and environment.”     _{- David Beste, Deputy Chief, Bureau of Support Services, Bellevue Fire}
