MOVES III Plan

The Institute for Energy Diversification and Saving (IDAE) has approved an increase of 8.3 million euros in the budget for the implementation of incentive programmes linked to electric mobility (MOVES III Programme) for the Balearic Islands.

The current budget of the Balearic Islands for this subsidy is around 18 million euros and with the extension, it will reach 26,575,856 euros. The Balearic Islands was one of the autonomous communities that received this authorisation, along with Aragon and Catalonia.

In the words of the Vice-President of the Government, Juan Pedro Yllanes, “the Balearic Islands are once again setting an example in terms of decarbonisation, in this case, in the decarbonisation of mobility. We have a great demand for applications to access electric vehicles, the electric mobility sector is gaining strength in the Balearic Islands and that is why we have to put all the necessary resources to move forward in this paradigm shift in mobility that we defend from the Government”.

For his part, the Director General of Energy and Climate Change, Pep Malagrava, explained that “this extension is a boost to the action we are developing in the Directorate General of Energy, where we continue to promote the promotion of electric mobility. Thanks to the arrival of these new funds, we will be able to accommodate all the demand we have received during 2022 and 2023, which already exceeds 3,600 applications and is worth 29 million euros”.
