In East Wenatchee, exciting developments are underway at the Douglas County PUD headquarters, with the installation of a new fueling station that includes both EV charging and hydrogen fueling capabilities. The project, managed by KRCI Construction, is progressing well, with the fueling equipment recently delivered and installation work in full swing. While the hydrogen plant near Baker Flats is not expected to start hydrogen production until late 2024, preparations are being made for future operations. The station currently offers EV charging facilities, with plans to integrate hydrogen fueling once the hydrogen plant is operational. Despite the need to remove some greenery on-site, the focus remains on providing a convenient and sustainable fueling option for customers. According to Meaghan Vibbert, the public information officer at Douglas County PUD, the new station is anticipated to be operational by the end of September, pending the completion of electrical work and other final touches. This initiative underscores the utility's commitment to promoting green energy and embracing innovative technologies for a more sustainable future.
