Project made possible through grant from the Commonwealth
PITTSFIELD, MA — Berkshire Community College (BCC) has taken another step towards technological modernization with the installation of eight electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The installation was made possible as a result of a Fleet EV Charging Deployment Grant Program award of $133,161 provided by the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER) Leading By Example (LBE) grant program.
The grant covered costs associated with fleet electric vehicle charging deployment at BCC, including procurement, installation and maintenance of eight single-port charging stations and preparatory work to enable future installation of two additional charging ports.
In October 2024, Guardian Energy was awarded the contract to install the EV charging stations at the Stanley and Susan B. Anthony Annexes. Installation of the charging units was completed in August 2025.
