The number of electric vehicles in Estonia is growing rapidly, but many apartment associations are faced with the question: how to provide residents with a convenient, affordable and future-proof charging solution?
The good news is that state support will soon be available to help apartment associations finance the installation of charging infrastructure. Even better news: with Enefit, you get a complete solution – from consultation to after-sales service.
What does this support measure entail?
The grant is provided by the Ministry of Climate and distributed by the Environmental Investment Centre (EIC). The support measure is intended for apartment associations and local governments for setting up electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
You can apply for support for installing up to 20 charging points. This enables covering at least 60% of the investment, including the costs related to design, construction, load distribution, purchasing of equipment and increasing electrical connection capacity.
What should apartment associations keep in mind?
Although the call for applications is not yet open, now is the right time to start preparing. In order to successfully apply for the grant, the following terms and conditions should be taken into account.
- Location: apartment associations located outside Tartu and Tallinn (city areas) are eligible to apply for the grant.
- Parking spaces: the apartment association must have at least 10 parking spaces.
- Price quote: to apply for the grant, it is required to submit a price quote outlining the planned solution and cost.
- Dynamic load distribution: the charging infrastructure to be built must include a solution that ensures network stability and allows multiple cars to be charged simultaneously without overload.
- Use of renewable energy: chargers installed with the support of the grant must use renewable energy. In addition, the collection and reporting of charging data must be ensured for at least five years.
