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 a wide range of sectors. Within this wider support, the Rural and Island Infrastructure Fund focuses specifically on expanding EV infrastructure and improving access to EV charging stations in remote, island and underserved areas of Scotland.
The fund helps businesses and landowners develop reliable, publicly accessible charging infrastructure where private investment is often limited, while supporting long-term sustainable transport goals and improved energy efficiency.
Funding can support projects including:
- Public EV charge point installation.
- Fast and rapid EV charging stations.
- Solar PV and battery-integrated charging systems.
- EV infrastructure for rural and island-based projects.
Whether you’re based in the Scottish Borders, Ayrshire or elsewhere in Scotland, our experienced consultants can help you understand the available government funding and whether your project may qualify.
