In October 2023, Kentucky released the list of Round 1 and 2 NEVI funded Design-Build-Operate-Maintain (DBOM) award winners. In round 1, Kentucky awarded 16 sites to 6 different operating companies. In round 2, Kentucky awarded 8 sites to 5 different operators. Round 3 was announced in May 2024; this award included 18 sites by 8 operators.
The first round of awards focuses on coverage of major travel corridors, but this leaves some areas without coverage. We can expect many of these gaps to be filled in with future funding round awards.
