National policy and regulations for the electric vehicle public charging infrastructure launched

The application for the authorisation is available on the REWS website.
A non-refundable application fee of €500 applies. The authorisation to act as an operator of publicly accessible charging points is valid for twelve (12) years and may be renewed against a fee of €500.

The authorisation may be obtained before the installation of any charging point. However, the authorisation holder is obliged to register the publicly accessible charging point/s with the regulator within fifteen (15) days as from the date of the commissioning of such charging point/s. The authorised operator must also notify the regulator within one day from the date of decommissioning of such charging point/s.

The charging point registration form can be downloaded from REWS’s website. An authorisation fee of €75 per charging point is payable on registration of the charging point and thereon every three years from the date of issue of the authorisation to act as an operator of the publicly accessible EV charging infrastructure. The authorisation fee per charging point, due when a charging point is registered for the first time, will be calculated pro rata with respect to the particular three-year time period.

Any decision of the regulator may be appealed to the Administrative Review Tribunal.
Any queries for further information related to such regulations may be forwarded to regulator@rews.org.mt.
