On Wednesday 18 June 2025, Luxembourg's Ministry of the Economy announced the results of the call for tenders for the public electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure concession.
The seven-year contract has been awarded to charge@lux, a joint venture comprising Electris Luxembourg SA, Cube 4T8 SARL and Socom SA.
The ministry noted that the transport sector accounts for 60% of CO2 emissions in Luxembourg. The development of electromobility is thus viewed as an essential lever for achieving the national decarbonisation targets. Among the objectives set out in the government's Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan (PNEC), the electrification of 49% of the vehicle fleet by 2030 remains a priority.
The ministry added that, to support this transition, vehicle electrification must be accompanied by appropriate charging infrastructure, including private charging stations (at home and in workplaces), publicly accessible charging stations in private spaces (e.g. commercial car parks) and public charging stations in public car parks.
Since 2017, distribution system operators (DSOs) have deployed a national charging infrastructure under the "Chargy" and "SuperChargy" brands (rapid charging stations). Currently, 666 of the 710 Chargy stations and 82 of the 90 planned SuperChargy charging stations are in operation.
However, in accordance with European Directive (EU) 2019/944, DSOs are no longer authorised to own, develop, manage or operate public charging stations, except in strictly limited circumstances. Consequently, the law stipulates that the management and operation of the Chargy and SuperChargy network be entrusted to a single concessionaire.
The ministry confirmed that the change in operator will not impact users. Charging stations will remain accessible through the same identification and payment methods as before, and the applicable concession conditions will ensure continuity in service quality.
