Level 2 Charging Program Application Due
Yellowstone-Teton Clean Cities (YTCC) is launching the ‘Level 2 Charging Program’ for the second year, after a successful pilot initiative in 2023. This program is designed to increase electric vehicle adoption and charging infrastructure throughout Teton County. With a $10,000 grant from Teton Conservation District, YTCC aims to support additional level 2 charging projects.
Last year, this program allocated funding to assist six local entities: Habitat for Humanity, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Rendezvous River Sports, Teton County Weed and Pest, Teton Village Association, and Town Creek Condominiums. Their collective efforts showcase the growing commitment to sustainability among Teton County organizations and businesses.
The application is live on the YTCC website until mid April on a rolling basis.
Department of Energy SOLVE IT Prize Application Due
The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Solutions for Lasting, Viable Energy Infrastructure Technologies (SOLVE IT) Prize is now accepting submissions.
The SOLVE IT Prize will support communities as they identify and implement innovative clean energy solutions to address their unique needs and challenges. By empowering communities to solve their energy-related challenges, the SOLVE IT Prize promotes the commercialization of clean hydrogen and other promising energy technologies to ensure an equitable and just energy transition.
The SOLVE IT Prize offers a total prize pool of $5 million in cash prizes, including $175,000 from DOE's Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office. Teams may win up to $730,000 each across three phases of the prize. Individuals or organizations with a history of successful participatory community-based initiatives—especially in disadvantaged and energy-burdened communities—are encouraged to join.

WY Clean Fuels Alliance Virtual Meeting
The mission of the Wyoming Clean Fuels Alliance is to advance the use of the cleanest fuels available to power on- and off-road vehicles of all types using the best appropriate vehicle platform or powertrain. The Alliance is focused on natural gas (renewable or biomethane, and conventional) and hydrogen as alternatives that offer immediate and future emissions reduction benefits, are domestically sourced, and provide or offer equal or better performance when compared to historic and current fuels.
You can find the virtual link to join this meeting on the YTCC Events Page.
Sustainability Series: EV Tax Credits Explained
Everything you need to know about the new electric vehicle tax incentives in 2024. You will learn which electric vehicles qualify and why, income limits, and how to capture the credit at time of purchase.
Renewable Diesel Working Group
Renewable Diesel is a cleaner burning fuel that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and improves air quality. This fuel is also being produced in Montana and Wyoming, which further eliminates emissions in the transport of the fuel. Renewable diesel is NOT biodiesel but is chemically equivalent to diesel, proving to be a true drop-in fuel for any diesel vehicle.
Currently there are several fleets in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming utilizing the fuel and it is available at the Shell station in Jackson, WY and at Conrad & Bischoff in Nampa, ID.
YTCC has had several meetings, webinars and conversations about the fuel over the last year. To facilitate even greater use of renewable diesel in our region YTCC is launching a monthly Renewable Diesel working group creating a space for fleet-to-fleet and peer-to-peer learning, best practices and FAQs to be answered.
All entities and individuals with an interest in the fuel are invited to join!
Contact alicia@ytcleancities.org for Zoom link. You can view the recording of the first meeting HERE on YTCC’s YouTube channel.
