Subsidies for charging station constructions
From 14 October 2024, applications can be submitted for support under Calls 30 and 31 of the Operational Programme Transport 2021– 2027, which aim to support the development of fast-charging infrastructure for passenger vehicles.
At the end of September 2024, the Ministry of Transportation announced the calls for proposals, and applications for support can be submitted until 27 January 2025. Specifically, support can be obtained for the construction of infrastructure for alternative fuels or charging stations that are publicly accessible. The funds allocated for each call and aid intensity are as follows:
- Call 30 - construction of charging stations across the Czech Republic. The funds allocated for this call amount to CZK 1 billion; the maximum aid intensity is 55% of eligible costs.
- Call 31 - construction of charging stations in priority areas of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T). The allocation is set at EUR 385 million; the aid intensity can reach up to 70% of eligible costs.
Apart from the above limits, the maximum eligible costs are limited to CZK 900,000 per one charging station with a power output of 50 kW. If the output is higher, the limit of eligible costs may be increased by CZK 10,000 for each 1 kW of additional power output. For Call 30, the minimum scope of the project is set at 10 DC charging stations; for Call 31, the project must include the construction of at least 6 DC charging stations.
Eligible costs may include, for example: project preparation costs, construction costs, charging station acquisition costs including assembly and installation, or one-off fees related to the permitting and commissioning of the charging stations.
The project must be completed by 30 June 2029. At the same time, only costs incurred by 31 December 2028 can be supported.
If you are interested, we will be happy to help you with the preparation of your application for support.
