MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO.4

QUESTION: Councillor V. Casserly

To ask the manager for an update on E charging stations at Adamstown Community Centre in conjunction with Adamstown Community College.

REPLY:

 SDCC are continuing to investigate the option to install a public electric vehicle charging point in Adamstown Community Centre.  Liaison between the Climate Action and other Departments is ongoing to resolve the outstanding queries relating to ownership / lease agreements etc for this shared facility.  This needs to be completed before any installation can be approved.

The pilot scheme for the installation and operation of public EV chargers on behalf of SDCC and the three Dublin Local Authorities is at procurement stage, at stage 2 of a negotiated procedure. Tender award would be expected for late 2023/early 2024.  Works under this tender would be expected to commence in early 2024, with an anticipated overall delivery programme of approximately 12 months.

If the installation of a public EV charger at Adamstown Community Centre/Community College carpark is confirmed as feasible, the installation and operation will likely take place under this proposed contract. SDCC are aiming to resolve the outstanding queries by the time this contract is in place.
