South Coast AQMD outlines Go Zero and Invest Clean funding opportunities to Santa Fe Springs
Summary
A representative from the South Coast Air Quality Management District briefed the council on two programs — the Go Zero pilot incentive program and the Invest Clean program — with funding for residential heat-pump and business electrification projects and larger industrial clean-transportation grants.
Ayesha Reyes of the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) gave the council a briefing on current incentive programs available to residents, property owners and businesses.
Reyes said the Go Zero pilot incentive program has $21,000,000 available on a limited, first-come, first-served basis for electrification of space and water heating. The program covers single-family homes, multifamily buildings and small businesses; applicant rebates stated in the briefing ranged from about $1,000 to $4,000 depending on technology and community status. Reyes provided the program web page (aqmd.gov/gozero) and said AQMD will host application training on Oct. 21 at 9 a.m.
Reyes also described the Invest Clean program, which she said has more than $417 million available (as stated in the briefing) and offers four funding streams: DC fast-charging infrastructure for class 4–8 vehicles; a class 8 truck scrap-and-replace program to transition to battery-electric trucks; battery-electric cargo-handling equipment replacement; and a battery-electric switcher-locomotive scrap-and-replace program, with charging infrastructure support for locomotives. Council staff requested that AQMD materials be provided so the city can share the information on social media and with residents.
No council action was required; the presentation was informational and staff arranged to receive more materials for local outreach.
