About The Rural & Island Infrastructure Fund & What It Includes
Government funding for Scottish businesses plays a key role in supporting growth, innovation, and sustainability across different sectors. Within this wider support, the Rural & Island Infrastructure Fund focuses specifically on expanding EV charging access in remote, island, and underserved areas of Scotland. It helps businesses and landowners develop reliable, publicly accessible infrastructure where private investment is often limited, while also supporting long-term sustainable transport goals, covering key elements like:
- Public EV charge point installation
- Fast and rapid charging units
- Solar and battery-integrated systems
- Support for rural and island-based projects
Eligibility Requirementsfor the Rural & Island Infrastructure Fund
To qualify for the Rural & Island Infrastructure Fund, applicants must meet specific requirements based on location, project type, and accessibility. The fund is designed to support projects that improve EV infrastructure in underserved regions, ensuring public benefit and long-term usability. Meeting these criteria is essential before moving forward with funding applications and installation planning.
Here’s a simplified breakdown of the key requirements:
- Must own or have permission to work on private land in a Scottish island or an eligible rural postcode (categories 5–8)
- Open to registered businesses or landowners
- Must hold a UK business bank account
- Project must support long-term infrastructure use
The Application Process
Applying for the Rural & Island Infrastructure Fund involves a structured approach to ensure all requirements are met before submission. Whether applying directly or through a Charge Point Operator (CPO), applicants must provide clear evidence of permissions and agreements. Proper planning, research, and understanding of the guidance can significantly improve the chances of a successful application outcome. Here is the breakdown of the application process:
- Select Application Method: Apply directly as a landowning business or work with a CPO who can submit the application on your behalf.
- Submit Permissions & Agreements: Provide proof of land access and include written authorisation if a CPO is acting for your business.
- Review Guidance & Prepare: Go through official guidelines carefully, research infrastructure options, and gather quotes from installers or CPOs.
- Ensure Project Eligibility: Confirm the project has not started or been completed, as funding cannot be applied retrospectively under this scheme.
