The Redwood Coast Energy Authority (“RCEA”) is issuing this Request for Information (“RFI”) to solicit responses from public and private entities in or around the North State California Region – consisting of the Shasta, Del Norte, Trinity, Mendocino, Siskiyou, Tehama, Glenn, and Humboldt Counties – regarding interest in fuel cell electric vehicle (“FCEV”) planning, hydrogen production, hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle adoption, and property owners and/or fuel distributors interested in hosting, leasing, or owning hydrogen fueling infrastructure.

On December 23, 2016 ARB released revisions to the TIMBER Program funding table for the 2017 year. The first revision increases the cost-effectiveness limit to the current Carl Moyer Program cap of $18,260 per ton which reduces usage requirements at some funding levels. The second revision affects applicants opted in to the Small Fleet option of the Statewide Truck and Bus Regulation. The full Mail-out (MSC 16-19) can be viewed here.

Beginning January 1, 2017 owners of only one unfiltered truck will no longer be eligible for TIMBER funding. However, these truckers can still apply for the Providing Loan Assistance for California Equipment program (PLACE), which may be easier to qualify for than typical loans.

The District will be accepting TIMBER grant applications until all funding is exhausted. For more information or to download an application click here.
