Aid for SMEs for investment in charging infrastructure

Last update

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with plans to deploy private charging infrastructures may benefit from investment aid for their economic activities.

The application for aid must be submitted online using the MyGuichet.lu assistant that will soon be made available. Luxinnovation and Klima-Agence are offering practical support in implementing the projects.

Who is concerned

Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) – i.e. enterprises which:

  • have fewer than 250 staff; and
  • whose annual turnover does not exceed EUR 50 million or whose annual balance sheet total does not exceed EUR 43 million;

and are legally established in Luxembourg.

Prerequisites

Compliance with the general terms and conditions

Companies must comply with the general terms and conditions that apply to all types of aid for investment in electrical charging points.

Charging infrastructure

The charging infrastructure to which the aid application pertains must satisfy the following criteria. It must:

  • be powered:
    • fully by renewable electricity only, as defined by law;
    • if located on public or private property owned by the State or communal authorities: be powered under the terms of renewable electricity purchase agreements as defined by law, entered into with renewable electricity producers;
  • remain operational for at least 5 years from the time it is brought into service;
  • not be intended for resale or rental, with the exception of lease agreements that provide for the lessee to purchase the infrastructure at the end of the agreement;

Deadlines

Each company can only submit one aid application per year and per project, addressed in writing to the minister by no later than 30 September 2026.

The charging infrastructure must be brought into service within 18 months of the granting of the aid. If it is impossible to comply with this time limit, for duly justified reasons beyond the company's control, an additional timeframe of 18 months at the most may be granted upon written request to the minister.

How to proceed

Filing an application

You must submit the application for aid for investment in electrical charging points using the online assistant that will soon be made available on MyGuichet.lu.

The person filing the application (the applicant themselves or their representative) must have a LuxTrust product or an electronic identity card (eID).

Applications must be submitted prior to the commencement of any work.

How to create a business eSpace on MyGuichet.lu

There are 2 possible scenarios:

Supporting documents

The application for aid must include the following information and documents:

  • the name and size of the company;
  • the company's organisational chart;
  • the annual accounts for the most recently closed financial year (those of the applicant company and those of any of its partners or affiliates);
  • a bank account identification document;
  • a Joint Social Security Centre (CCSS) certificate (number of employees);
  • a copy of the company's operating permit;
  • the dates on which the work will commence and the charging infrastructure brought into service;
  • with regard to the charging points: their number, nominal power and charging capacity;
  • if the project involves increasing the charging capacity of existing charging infrastructure, the number and nominal power of the existing charging points, and the charging capacity of the existing charging infrastructure;
  • a list of the eligible costs;
  • the amount and intensity of financial aid required to complete the project;
  • the address where the charging infrastructure is located;
  • proof of ownership of the property or, where applicable, the draft agreement in principle whereby the owner grants the applicant the use of the property, or a lease agreement;
  • in the case of a leasing agreement, the name of the lessor and the power of attorney authorising them to apply for the aid and receive payment on the lessee's behalf;
  • any other relevant information which would help the minister in charge to assess the qualities or the specific features of the project and its incentive effect.

Maximum amount of financial aid

The amount of the aid is calculated based on the eligible project costs.

For each project, the maximum intensity of the aid is:

  • for a medium-sized enterprise: 40% of eligible costs;
  • for a small enterprise: 50% of eligible costs.

The total amount of the aid granted to any one company may not exceed EUR 100,000.

Investments to be made

The investments made as part of a project to install charging infrastructure, or to increase the charging capacity of an existing charging infrastructure, include:

  • charging point(s);
  • connection to the electrical grid (storage facilities are eligible when they help reduce the need for the charging points to draw upon the electrical grid);
  • a shared smart charging management system;
  • data transmission devices;
  • inspection of the charging points;
  • a payment system;
  • associated civil engineering work.

Operating costs and costs involved in complying with legal, regulatory or administrative requirements in force are not eligible.

The eligible costs do not include taxes or other deductions.

Payment of the aid

The capital grant is paid by the Ministry of the Economy once the project is completed.

You must submit your application for payment of the aid online via MyGuichet.lu. This can be done in 2 different ways:

  1. by providing a detailed breakdown of costs, where each individual cost item is reported: to be used if there are 10 invoices or less to be declared; or
  2. by providing a summary statement of costs, where the total for each type of cost is reported: to be used if there are more than 10 invoices to be declared.

Details of the documents to be provided depending on the cost statement templates are available under 'Pièces à joindre à la démarche en ligne MyGuichet.lu de demande de paiement' (see under 'Online services and forms' below).

The person filing the application for payment (the applicant themselves or their representative) must have a LuxTrust product or an electronic identity card (eID).

You must file your application for payment before the deadline specified in the decision.
