Bill on financial aid for companies investing in charging infrastructure for electric vehicles
Projet de loi relative au régime d’aides en faveur des entreprises investissant dans des
infrastructures de charge pour véhicules électriques
Background information
Luxembourg has endorsed objectives to reduce, by 2030, its greenhouse gas emissions by 55% compared to 2005 in its integrated plan for energy and for the period 2021-2030 and with an emphasis on the decarbonisation of transport.
In addition to the aid scheme set up by the Grand-Ducal regulation of 19 August 2020 for private individuals wishing to install charging stations at their place of residence,
this draft law introduces three additional aid measures for companies which aim to provide Luxembourg with the charging infrastructure required to enable the transition to electromobility based on a 100% renewable electricity supply.
Content of measure
The purpose of the project is to financially support companies that invest in charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. it introduces three financial aids:
-
The first is aimed at companies with large-scale charging infrastructure projects, public and private, and will be awarded following a competitive process.
-
The second is aimed at small and medium-sized businesses wishing to install a private charging infrastructure reserved for them; it takes the form of a simplified application procedure.
-
The third is aimed at distribution system operators and third-party companies wishing to take over the "Chargy" public charging infrastructure.
The total budget foreseen is €40 million and may be allocated according to demand from companies. The annual budget thus amounts to €10 million between 2022 and end of 2025.

On June 18, 2024, the Minister of the Economy, SMEs, Energy and Tourism presented the reform of the aid scheme for environmental and climate protection for businesses. The draft law introducing this reform reflects the government’s commitment to accelerating the ecological and energy transition of Luxembourg’s economy and to meeting the country’s climate targets, particularly those set out in the Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan (PNEC). The reform focuses in particular on decarbonisation, energy efficiency, the deployment of renewable energies, and the security of energy supply in Luxembourg.
The objective is to encourage companies to accelerate the transition by relying on eight support measures that promote investments in the use of decarbonized energy

On 7 July 2022, the Deputy chamber adopted the law which provides for an aid scheme in the context of the greenhouse gas emission allowance trading system for the period 2021-2030.
The budget allocated to this scheme each year is €50 million, or €500 million over 10 years. Only companies registered in the ETS (for "emissions trading system") will be able to benefit from this aid. Around ten companies are therefore concerned, including ArcelorMittal, Guardian, DuPont de Nemours and Cimalux.
