A €15million Scheme, funded through the Irish Government’s Shared Island Initiative and ZEVI infrastructure funding, will help enhance access to public charging with 48 sports clubs throughout the north eligible for new Electric Vehicle Charge Points.
Local Clubs eligible include: Crossmaglen Rangers GAC, St Patrick's GAC Dromintee, Culloville Blues GAC, Thomas Davis GFC, Silverbridge Harps GFC, Peadar O Doirnin Forkhill GAC and Rathfriland Football Club.
Infrastructure Minister John O’Dowd welcomed the announcement “The transition to the use of electric vehicles will play a pivotal role in decarbonising the transport sector and meeting our net zero ambitions. This announcement from the Irish Government is a welcome boost to providing charging infrastructure for destination and local charging opportunities in rural areas and in cities where EV owners may not have access to home charging.
“It will build on the significant progress which has been made in enhancing publicly available electric vehicle charging infrastructure here where 625 charge points are now available representing growth of 60.5% in the total number of available charge points since April 2023."
Funding will be subject to reaching agreement with a Charge Point operator from a pre-approved panel.
