In the context of the decarbonisation of the transport sector in Luxembourg, the electrification of the vehicle fleet plays a key role. In the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), the government has set a target of electrifying 49% of the national vehicle fleet by 2030.
To achieve this goal, adequate charging infrastructure must be deployed alongside the growing uptake of electric vehicles, both in private settings and in publicly accessible areas.
Municipalities play an important role in this transition. On the one hand, the Grand-Ducal Regulation of 2 November 2021 establishes requirements for vehicles purchased by municipalities and other public sector entities. On the other hand, as part of the progressive decarbonisation of their own vehicle fleets, municipalities are also required to develop their own charging infrastructure.
Support for the development of electromobility
To support municipalities in this transition, Klima-Agence offers the “Ladelotse” (charging infrastructure advisor) service.
This support includes:
- an analysis of the existing situation;
- an assessment of the potential and optimal locations for additional public charging stations;
- guidance on all matters related to charging infrastructure and assistance with the procedures required to install public charging stations within the municipal territory.

Deployment of public charging infrastructure within the municipal territory
Before making decisions regarding the deployment and operation of municipal charging infrastructure, municipal authorities should assess their specific charging infrastructure needs.
To support this process, Klima-Agence has developed an interactive map that enables municipalities to estimate their charging capacity needs up to 2030.

Operating public charging stations in cooperation with a private project developer
For the installation and operation of publicly accessible charging stations, municipalities may make suitable sites available to private-sector project developers through an open, transparent and non-discriminatory process.
In cooperation with the ministry of the Economy, Klima-Agence provides template documents for launching a concession procedure related to public charging infrastructure on municipal land.
For any questions or support needs regarding this process, the “Ladelotse” service is available to municipalities.

Charging infrastructure for municipal operational needs
Charging infrastructure intended exclusively for the municipal vehicle fleet or staff vehicles may be implemented directly by the municipality or in cooperation with an external project developer.
Klimabonus Gemengen state subsidy programme
Municipalities may benefit from Klimabonus Gemengen financial subsidies for charging stations that are not publicly accessible.
The programme also provides subsidies for the acquisition of heavy-duty utility vehicles.
Mobility measures under the Climate Pact
As part of Climate Pact 2.0, municipalities can receive recognition for their efforts in the fields of electric and active mobility.
These actions are included in the catalogue of measures under the “Mobility” chapter. Climate advisors are available to support municipalities in implementing these measures.
