Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator, in consultation with the Secretary of Energy, shall initiate a study to evaluate— how ports, intermodal port transfer facilities, and surrounding communities may benefit from increased electrification of port infrastructure or operations; the effects of increased electrification of port infrastructure and operations on air quality and energy demand; the scale of investment needed to increase and maintain electrification of port infrastructure and operations, including an assessment of ports where zero-emissions port equipment and technology have already been installed or utilized; how emerging technologies and strategies may be used to increase port electrification; and how ports and intermodal port transfer facilities can partner with electric utility owners and operators and electrical equipment providers to strengthen the reliability and resiliency of the electric transmission and distribution system, in order to enable greater deployment of zero-emissions port equipment and technology.
Not later than 1 year after initiating the study under subsection (a), the Administrator shall submit to Congress and make available on the public website of the Environmental Protection Agency a report that describes the results of the study.
