ESB Group also own and operates a telecoms network throughout the island of Ireland. The scope of the noise consultancy services will be provided in two lots: 1) Onshore noise consultancy services; and 2) Offshore noise consultancy services.

Promotion of e-Mobility

The European Green Deal includes a train of policy initiatives to address the challenges identified, one of which focuses on renovation of buildings: the ‘Renovation Wave’. The Renovation Wave takes the form of a strategic communication, with an integrated approach across policy areas. It will seek to establish an action plan with concrete measures to address the main barriers and to reinforce the pull factors for faster and deeper renovation, gradually triggering at least a doubling of current renovation rates and reducing the greenhouse gas footprint. As part of this initiative and in conjunction with the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), one aim is to drive smart technologies in buildings, digital and data aspects, promoting and strengthening the use of digital tools to improve the durability and adaptability of buildings and ensure optimal operation and maintenance of buildings and their systems. In this context, the objective of the tender is to identify lessons that can be learned from existing legislative and non-legislative measures, including the EPBD, to support the integration of electromobility infrastructure into the EU building stock and promote the use of electric vehicles. The lessons learnt and conclusions from this study will support the development of future policy. They will also inform the Commission in the preparation of the reporting to the European Parliament and the Council on the potential contribution of a Union building policy to the promotion of electromobility. The objectives of the service contract are to provide support to the European Commission to gain a better understanding on:

1. The current state-of-play: based on available information and focused interviews, identify relevant legislation at EU and Member State level, state of deployment of recharging infrastructure in buildings.
2. Existing good practices for the successful promotion of deployment and use of recharging points in buildings. Best practices also in non-EU countries, such as Norway, or opportunities overlooked, may be relevant in this respect.
3. Existing physical, regulatory, practical barriers for a swift uptake of recharging points in buildings.
4. Lessons to be learned: assess the strengths and weaknesses of the market and legislative framework with respect to the deployment of recharging points and ducting infrastructure in buildings, critically assessing the role of the EPBD and related tools in this regard.
5. Possible future actions, analysing the relevance, feasibility, particular design features and options, cross-relation of market sectors and possible scope of measures at EU-level for the promotion of charging points infrastructure in buildings. On that basis select policy options and analyse their related potential impacts.
6. Stakeholder view: through an engagement process gather the views of different market actors, both on the current state-of-play and future developments with respect to recharging points in buildings, with particular attention to obstacles encountered by early EV users.
