New Haven will receive $34.03 million in federal funding for zero-emission equipment and energy storage infrastructure for its port as part of President Joe Biden’s efforts to improve infrastructure, provide union jobs and address the global climate crisis. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency officials announced this week that $3 billion in Clean Ports grants funded by the Inflation Reduction Act will be disseminated to 55 projects, including New Haven’s Gateway Terminal. According to the agency, New Haven’s $34 million grant will fund the purchase and deployment of zero-emission cargo handling equipment with supporting charging infrastructure, with solar generation and energy storage infrastructure to power the mobile equipment. Regan said the funds would be disbursed in December and January and obligated before the end of the Biden administration this coming January. It will take three to four years to implement the 55 projects, based on the scale of the projects, he said.
