Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) and Infrastructure Manufacturing Siting and Permitting Support

The Interagency Clean Energy Siting Council (Council) supports siting and permitting of new clean energy projects, including ZEV, electric vehicle charging infrastructure and equipment, and hydrogen fueling equipment manufacturing facilities. The Council must identify opportunities to improve siting and permitting of clean energy projects and may establish working groups and advisory committees to inform the development of new siting and permitting approaches. Beginning October 1, 2024, the Council must publish an annual report of their activities and recommendations. The Council published the Considerations for Consolidating Clean Energy Permits and Applications report in October 2024.
