Jacobs Solutions Inc. has been selected by the Maine Department of Transportation to provide consulting services for the EPA Clean Ports Grant‑funded Maine Port Electrification Clean Energy Planning Project. The multi‑year initiative will deliver emissions inventories, grid infrastructure assessments, and electrification feasibility studies for Portland, Eastport, Rockland, and Searsport, positioning the state to transition its ports to zero‑emission operations.
The contract, funded by the EPA Clean Ports Program under the Inflation Reduction Act, is part of a $1 million federal grant that supports MaineDOT’s planning phase. Jacobs will develop a public‑facing roadmap, workforce development plans, and stakeholder engagement strategies, leveraging its experience from PortMiami and the Port of Cleveland to guide the state’s decarbonization efforts.
The project is scheduled to be completed by December 2027, with stakeholder meetings in April 2026 and public meetings in September and October 2026, culminating in a final feasibility study in November 2027. The contract value was not disclosed, but the long‑term, high‑visibility engagement underscores Jacobs’ expanding footprint in clean‑energy infrastructure beyond traditional engineering.
The win signals continued demand for Jacobs’ consulting services in the Northeast and reinforces its growth trajectory in the clean‑energy and infrastructure sectors. By securing this contract, Jacobs positions itself as a key partner in the broader EPA Clean Ports Program, helping Maine prepare for future zero‑emission grant funding and advancing the state’s decarbonization agenda.
