EDP participates in the European CIRVE project with which it contributes to deploy an adequate charging infrastructure for the development of the electric vehicle. Specifically, this project will install new recharging points and modernize some of the existing ones in the so-called Atlantic corridor (linking Portugal with Europe through the center of the Iberian Peninsula) and the Mediterranean (which crosses Spain from north to south through the East).
EDP partners in this project are various actors responsible for the advancement of the electric vehicle: cargo managers (IBIL, GIC, Iberdrola, Endesa), vehicle manufacturers (Renault) and entities dedicated to the promotion of new mobility solutions such as the Business Association for the Development and Promotion of the Electric Vehicle (AEDIVE) and the Portuguese engineering center CEIIA.
During the development of this project, 25 new recharging points will be installed (EDP will install 5, 2 in the Basque Country and 3 in Madrid) and 15 existing ones will be updated, so that 40 recharging points will be made available to users that will fulfill the premise of commercial interoperability, so that recharging electric vehicles is a simple operation regardless of the consumer's energy supplier.
The CIRVE project has a budget of € 3,523,236 to which EDP contributes € 505.7584 (14% of the total budget). The CIRVE project has a 50% financing from the European Union of the total budget (€ 1,716,618) and in the case of the EDP budget it has a European support of € 252,877.
El Proyecto CIRVE está cofinanciado por el Mecanismo de la Unión Europea ConectarEuropa
