Highland Council In Joint Venture For EV Charging

22nd December 2022

A collection of public authorities in Scotland are seeking engagement with the private sector over the potential of establishing a joint venture or consortium to deliver electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across the region.

Highland Council, Aberdeenshire Council and Aberdeen City Council intend to enter a joint venture arrangement or consortium opportunity with an investment and delivery partner(s) to bring forward the provision of EV Charging Infrastructure across the region but also to realise the commercial opportunity that this approach could provide to the Council partners.

Agreement has also been made with Moray Council, Argyll & Bute Council, Western Isles Council, Orkney Islands Council, Shetland Isles Islands Council, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, HiTrans and NHS Highland to work collaboratively to the benefit of all in the region and these partners may wish to call off from any future agreement.
