en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Ministry of Ecological Transition and Energy of the Government of the Canary Islands (Consejería de Transición Ecológica y Energía del Gobierno de Canarias) has officially launched a new round of sustainable mobility subsidy applications. The total subsidy amounts to €1.875 million, co-financed by the EU FEDER Canarias 2021-2027 Program (Programa FEDER Canarias 2021-2027), aiming to promote the decarbonization of urban transport systems in the archipelago. Eligible applicants can submit materials through the Canary Islands Government's e-government platform, with the application deadline set for July 13.
This subsidy covers the procurement of electric or zero-emission vehicles for public transport, as well as the installation of public charging stations. In terms of vehicle procurement, it is open to state-owned and private enterprises providing public passenger transport services, as well as holders of taxi and ride-hailing (VTC) licenses. Depending on the vehicle category and whether the old vehicle is scrapped, the maximum subsidy per vehicle can reach €30,000. Regarding charging infrastructure, the subsidy supports the installation of public charging stations of various power levels. For local governments and state-owned enterprises, eligible investments can receive up to 100% subsidy support.
The subsidy program has reserved dedicated funds for transport companies and professionals, municipalities, and island councils, with a maximum allocation of €625,000 per area, distributed on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are exhausted.
To help potential beneficiaries understand the policy details, the ministry plans to hold an online information session on Friday, June 19, at 11:00, lasting approximately one hour, with a Q&A session at the end. This session is organized by the Service of Energy Efficiency and New Technologies (Servicio de Eficiencia Energética y Nuevas Tecnologías) and the Canary Islands Energy Offices (Oficinas de Energía de Canarias, OEC), targeting municipalities, island councils, state-owned and private enterprises, taxi and VTC owners, as well as industry and energy organizations, including Femete, Femepa, CEOE Tenerife, the Canary Islands Business Confederation (Confederación Canaria de Empresarios), the Institute of Renewable Energy Technology (ITER), the Tenerife Energy Transition Office (OTE), and the Gran Canaria Energy Council (Consejo Insular de Energía de Gran Canaria). Interested participants can register by sending an email to estrategia@oficinasenergia.com. For subsidy-related inquiries, the Canary Islands Energy Offices can be contacted on weekday mornings via email at oficinasdeenergia@oficinasdeenergia.es and eficienciaenergetica.energia@gobiernodecanarias.org.
This subsidy is part of a series of actions by the ministry to promote efficient and low-carbon mobility, including the Moves Plan, specific subsidies for the electrification of the taxi sector, the Canary Islands Eco Rally (Eco Rally de Canarias), and the "Most Efficient Driver of the Canary Islands" competition (Conductor Más Eficiente de Canarias). Additionally, the ministry has carried out public awareness activities, such as launching the first 100% electric racing car in the Canary Islands, Coche Zero, which serves as an official vehicle in the Canary Islands Asphalt Rally Championship (Campeonato de Canarias de Rallys de Asfalto) and acts as a vehicle for the "Zero Emissions, Zero Excuses" (Cero emisiones, cero excusas) campaign.
