PGE Announces $1.5 for Electric School Buses

Portland General Electric recently announced its Electric School Bus Fund for 2021, funded by the Oregon Clean Fuels Program. The program will award grants to help public school districts bring more electric school buses to Oregon by helping them pay for incremental costs and charging infrastructure.

Public school districts that are wholly or partially located in PGE’s service area can submit an application between April 15, 2021 and June 1, 2021. More information, including eligibility requirements and how to apply, can be  found on PGE’s website.
