Public Power Corp. has received funds from the European Union for the installation of 60 chargers for electric vehicles.
Public Power Corp. (PPC) and PPC blue Romania have jointly secured up to EUR 2.76 million from the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) funding mechanism for the installation and operation of the publicly accessible direct current (DC) fast chargers, the update reveals.
PPC blue is the e-mobility arm of PPC.
The funds for the e-chargers in Greece and Romania were obtained from the CEF’s Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Facility (AFIF) program.
Under the East Europe Electric Route (Blue Route 3E) joint project, 28 DC fast charging points, each with a minimum capacity of 150 kW, would be set up for light-duty vehicles (LDVs), while 32 ultra-fast charging points, of at least 350 kW apiece, are intended for heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs).
Babilis: We are strengthening the TEN-T in Greece and Romania
The installation at 29 locations along the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) is well underway, the company revealed.
Out of the 60 units, 16 fast-charging points for electric LDVs, each with a minimum output power of 150 kW, will be installed across ten locations in Greece. The rest – 12 fast-charging points for LDVs and 32 ultra-fast charging points for HDVs – are planned in Romania.
According to Miltiades Babilis, Chief E-Mobility Officer at PPC, the infrastructure of the TEN-T in Greece and Romania is being strengthened through the Blue Route 3E project.
It is the second European funding package that PPC blue has secured through the CEF mechanism
“PPC blue is investing in the strategic development of its network by adding new hyperfast chargers at key points along the Greek road network, thus making EV travel more convenient,” he stated.
It is the second EU funding package that PPC blue has secured through the CEF mechanism, following the Electrifying South East Europe Road Transport (ESEERT) project. It is in an advanced stage of implementation and involves 34 fast-charging points for electric LDVs across 13 locations in Greece.
PPC blue has over 2,800 e-chargers in Greece and Romania.
