Clean Energy Awarded Major Fueling Agreement for City of Santa Fe
The City of Santa Fe, New Mexico, has contracted with Clean Energy to build a CNG fueling station for its transit and refuse fleets as well as offering access to the public.
The clean energy furling station design will include fast-fill dispensers for Santa Fe Trails, the city’s transit agency, as well as time-fill dispensers installed nearby at the city’s Environmental Services Division for its refuse fleet. The public will be able to fuel their vehicles via a separate lane with its own quick-fill dispenser.
The station is expected to fuel 67 CNG transit, para-transit and refuse vehicles, and dispense approximately 440,000 gasoline gallon equivalents (GGEs) per year, which is expected to increase as the solid waste department plans on increasing the size of their CNG fleet over the next 5 years.
Associated with the contract, an operations and maintenance contract will run for 8 years, beginning with the opening of the station scheduled for 2018.
According to Andrew J. Littlefair, Clean Energy’s president and chief executive officer, “By understanding the city’s requirements, we were able to design a fueling complex that will fuel both transit and refuse vehicles, while simultaneously allowing the public to have access as well.”
