The 2026–2027 Investment Plan Update for the Clean Transportation Program guides the allocation of program funding for Fiscal Year 2026–2027. Program funding, reauthorized in 2023 through Assembly Bill 126 (Reyes, Chapter 319, Statutes of 2023), provides an estimated $95.2 million a year, totaling $285.6 million for Fiscal Years 2026–2027 through 2028–2029. The California Energy Commission (CEC) develops proposed allocations for program funding annually.
This draft 2026–2027 Investment Plan Update is the eighteenth plan in the history of the program and reflects laws, executive orders, regulations, and policy directives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, petroleum dependence, and criteria pollution emissions for all Californians. The Investment Plan establishes annual funding allocations based on identified needs and opportunities, with a focus on zero-emission vehicle infrastructure. Funding priorities are determined based on analysis from CEC reports and input from the Disadvantaged Communities Advisory Group, the Clean Transportation Program Advisory Committee, and other stakeholders.
This draft report is the first step in developing the 2026–2027 Investment Plan Update. Before adopting the report at a CEC business meeting, the CEC expects to release a Lead Commissioner Report, as well as convene advisory committee meetings and conduct outreach and engagement with other interested and affected groups.
This draft report will be available on the 2026-2027 Investment Plan Update webpage. Members of the public can request a hard copy by calling 916-269-9595.
