 Out with Generator Fumes, in with Clean and Quiet Battery Power!
Applications are now open for the Montgomery County Food Truck Generator Electrification Pilot Program.
Montgomery County is taking noise and pollution off the menu for food trucks by providing incentives to replace gasoline- and diesel-powered generators with clean and quiet battery power systems.
Mobile food service businesses (a.k.a. food trucks and trailers) licensed in Montgomery County can receive zero-interest financing and cash incentives to purchase and install battery power systems thanks to a generous grant from the Maryland Energy Administration (MEA).
Each replaced fuel generator will save businesses thousands of dollars in fuel and maintenance costs, take 4 cars' worth of carbon emissions off the road, and reduce unhealthy noise and air pollution for the benefit of employees and customers.
There are two options for receiving incentives.
-
Loan Incentive Option: Receive a zero-interest, 24-month loan for up to $25,000 plus $1,000 installation incentive. Or,
-
Direct Payment Option: Receive 20% of the cost of equipment and installation up to $5,000.
