Electrifying Your Fleet With Puget Sound Energy
| Puget Sound Energy’s Up & Go Electric for Fleet program is a comprehensive full-scale utility program designed to accelerate the electrification of commercial and public fleets throughout Western Washington. Our program addresses key barriers to fleet electrification by offering flexible ownership models, financial incentives, and rate options tailored to fleet needs. This presentation will provide an overview of the Up & Go Fleet Program, including utility-owned turnkey charging solutions and customer-owned infrastructure supported by incentives up to $250,000 for Level 2 and DC fast charging installations. Attendees will learn how PSE supports fleets through planning, design, construction, and ongoing maintenance while coordinating with system planning to ensure reliability as charging demand grows. The session will also highlight PSE’s fleet-specific charging rates, which are designed to reduce operating costs and encourage off-peak charging behavior. These rates help fleets optimize charging schedules, lower energy costs, and support grid efficiency. This presentation will demonstrate how our program offerings can reduce emissions, improve cost efficiencies, and support an equitable transition to electric transportation. |
