Andorran Environment Minister Conxita Marsol has pointed to sustained public and business interest in electric mobility after the e-Engega 2026 programme closed its grant call on Wednesday, having received 180 applications that committed the full €500,000 budget.
The government halted the initiative upon reaching the funding limit, as required by regulations on electric mobility and national vehicle fleet energy efficiency grants. While some requests remain pending final resolution and execution, the entire allocation is now spoken for. Launched in March, the programme aims to renew vehicle fleets with more energy-efficient, lower-emission models to promote sustainable mobility and the energy transition.
This year's figure marks a notable rise over prior years, with participation up from 115 requests in 2022—a gain of 65 applications, or 56.5%. Marsol highlighted the shift, noting that the past four years reflect growing confidence in government policies aligned with the country's climate goals.
No further details on fund distribution or approval rates were available as the call closed.
