Green Dundee
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates the Dundee Partnership – 95 Electric project led by Dundee City Council on securing up to £2,498,097 over two financial years from the Scottish Government’s Switched on Towns and Cities Challenge Fund to support the procurement of up to 95 electric vehicles (EVs) in the local authority and partner organisation fleets; notes that the funding will also support the installation of an additional 66 EV charging bays, including 50 that will be publicly available, across the city and surrounding area; further notes that this will be alongside the creation of a rapid EV charging hub close to the A90 in Dundee at the proposed Claverhouse East Energy Park, as well as the installation of EV charging facilities at one of five shortlisted community centres in the city; understands that each of the three project partners, the University of Dundee, Dundee and Angus College and NHS Tayside, will also host EV charging facilities across six sites, and believes that such investment in the green future of Dundee illustrates the city’s ambition to become one of Scotland’s most environmentally-friendly cities.
