CHARGE IT UP

PLANS to roll out charging points for electric vehicles across Gibraltar are going ahead after a government-wide meeting to push towards carbon neutrality.

Deputy Chief Minister Joseph Garcia chaired the Gibraltar Net Zero Delivery Body (NZDB) at No.6 Convent Place for the third time.

Government experts looked at a whole myriad of ideas, including exploring offshore wind energy and solar power possibilities.

They reviewed projects aimed at ‘reducing energy consumption, improving energy efficiency and encouraging the use of alternative transport options’, the government said. The NZDB will look to hit carbon neutrality by 2050, the main goal of the 2016 Paris Agreement, which Gibraltar recently signed. One of the main moves is to replace the combustion engine with electric vehicles (EV).
