These facilities are just the start of the Shorepower network. Additionally, there is a Shorepower partner site at the 49er Travel Plaza in Sacramento, California and the California Air Resources Board is considering expansion of Shorepower into Northern and Southern California. Shorepower has also received interest from States along the I-10 and I-95 Corridors, as well as other areas throughout the U.S. and Canada. See the map of the growing Shorepower network.
Funding for the NW projects was provided by the Climate Trust, Oregon Department of Energy (ODOE), New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and Washington Department of Ecology with initial seed money provided by the US EPA to administer the program.
