Chiloquin Visions in Progress and the City of Chiloquin complete installation of electric vehicle charging stations with support from Pacific Power

CITY OF CHILOQUIN, Ore. – Chiloquin Visions in Progress and the City of Chiloquin are leading the way in shaping the future of clean transportation thanks to a grant from Pacific Power's Electric Mobility Grant Program. The money was used to install a ChargePoint Level 2 Dual Charger and a ChargePoint Level 3 High-Speed ​​Charger at the corner of South 1st Ave. and East Schonchin St. in Chiloquin. Chiloquin Visions in Progress received the grant and oversaw the project installation. The station is located on City of Chiloquin property and is maintained and operated by the city.

The $238,000 grant covers 100% of the cost of this innovative, community-driven electric mobility project.

Chiloquin Visions in Progress joins several other organizations in Pacific Power's service territory that have received grants for clean electric mobility projects through a competitive evaluation process.

We are thrilled to have been selected for this grant and would like to thank Pacific Power for leading the way toward a sustainable energy future,” said John Rademacher, Chief Executive Officer of Chiloquin Visions in Progress. “Our electric mobility project is not only a win for the local community, but also for the environment as more electric vehicle drivers will take to the roads. The electric vehicle funding program is consistent with our core mission of initiating and supporting ideas and projects that lead to a healthy and prosperous social, economic, natural and cultural environment.

Pacific Power provides grants to help businesses, cities and nonprofits realize the cost-saving and clean benefits of electric mobility.

“Clean transportation projects help Oregonians save on fuel costs, reduce emissions and improve economic vitality,” said Kate Hawley, customer solutions manager for Pacific Power. “This grant program is just one of the ways Pacific Power is helping businesses and communities transition to a clean energy future.”

Funding for this grant is made possible through the Oregon Clean Fuels Program, administered by the state Department of Environmental Quality.
