Congress to Invest Over Half a Million Euros in Installing 30 New Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Congress has announced a tender for a contract worth 547,206 euros (including taxes) to install a total of 30 new electric vehicle charging points in its parking facilities. In the future, these chargers could increase to a total of 56 units.
Currently, Congress has two parking lots: one with four levels under the Carrera de San Jerónimo and another with three levels under a nearby building adjacent to the 19th-century Palace that houses the plenary hall. The first parking lot already has 14 charging stations for official electric vehicles, along with a guidance system to indicate whether spaces are occupied or free on three of its floors. However, the second lot lacks both charging points and a guidance system.
Now, Congress plans to add 30 new charging stations, with 18 in the Carrera de San Jerónimo parking lot (bringing the total to 32) and another 12 in the second lot. Additionally, electrical distribution systems will be installed to double the capacity of charging points in the second lot, potentially reaching a total of 24.
According to sources within Congress, these new charging stations will not be reserved for official vehicles—Congress currently operates a fleet of 25 electric vehicles—but will be available to staff and occasional visitors. Furthermore, a guidance system will be installed in the remaining levels of the larger parking lot and across all three floors of the other lot, currently lacking one.

These measures are part of the Environmental Sustainability Plan of Congress, approved by the board in April 2022. Companies interested in the tender must submit their bids by October 22, with the work to be completed within four months from the signing of the contract or according to the timeline proposed by the winning company. The work will be scheduled to minimize disruption to Congress operations, with a focus on Fridays for heavier workloads, but workers may operate on any weekday. Special activities may also be required on weekends.
The tender also specifies that any work done outside normal hours, including holidays or non-working hours, will be covered under the agreed contract price.
