FASTER NI

East Border Region Ltd and FASTER Project partners have completed a two-year programme of works with the installation and commissioning of 75 new rapid electric vehicle charging stations in Northern Ireland, Republic of Ireland (Border Region) and in rural areas along Scotland’s west coast and western isles.  These new chargers have been installed with the support of just over €6.4 million of European Union funding from the INTERREG VA programme which is managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB). Match funding for the project was provided by the Department for Infrastructure (Northern Ireland) and the Department for Transport (Republic of Ireland) and Transport Scotland. SCC were involved as Project Managers for the Northern Ireland sites. The project took a great deal of collaboration and coordination to achieve the project targets for funding and completion.
