The Port of San Diego Board of Port Commissioners has certified an Environmental Impact Report and authorised the issuance of a Coastal Development Permit for the project named the Tidelands Avenue Electric Truck Hub, proposed by Skychargers, LLC, the board confirmed on 19 August 2026.
The board additionally authorised port staff to sign a non-binding Term Sheet while lease negotiations continue between the port and Skychargers, LLC. The actions signal formal progress in the port authority’s review of the proposed zero-emissions truck charging facility.
The certified Environmental Impact Report and the authorised Coastal Development Permit are specific regulatory steps recorded by the board in support of the Tidelands Avenue Electric Truck Hub proposal. The project title and the proposer's corporate name were set out in the board’s approvals as reported by Port Technology International on 19 August 2026.
Authorisation for staff to execute a non-binding Term Sheet does not constitute a final lease, but it permits the port and Skychargers to formalise key commercial terms while detailed lease negotiations proceed. The board’s action keeps the project under active consideration without committing the port to a completed agreement.
The facility, as named in the board documentation, is intended to serve electric heavy-duty vehicles operating in the port area, according to the published item. Skychargers, LLC is identified as the company proposing the hub and remains the counterparty in ongoing discussions over site terms.
Regulatory milestones
The certification of an Environmental Impact Report and the issuance of a Coastal Development Permit were the two principal regulatory milestones recorded by the board. Those approvals were presented to commissioners together with the resolution authorising staff to pursue a non-binding Term Sheet.
Commercial process and next steps
With the board’s authorisation in place, the port’s staff and Skychargers will continue lease negotiations under the framework of the Term Sheet. Any future lease would proceed only after the completion of those negotiations and the usual administrative steps set by the port authority.
Port Technology International published the report setting out these developments on 19 August 2026. The article described the board’s certification of the EIR, the authorisation of the Coastal Development Permit and the move to authorise staff to sign a non-binding commercial Term Sheet for the Tidelands Avenue Electric Truck Hub.
The board’s recorded actions mark a defined stage in the proposal’s progression through port-level review and commercial discussions. They also create a formal record of authorisations that will shape the subsequent administrative and contractual steps taken by port staff and the proposers.
