Public Infrastructure

Bonn – November 10, 2026 -- The Construction and Property Agency of North Rhine-Westphalia (BLB NRW) has commissioned 22 new charging points for electric vehicles at Campus Poppelsdorf in Bonn. The site is among the first to go live in a state-wide program of up to 2,000 charging points.

Rollout targets about 200 state-owned sites across North Rhine-Westphalia

BLB NRW is carrying out the program on the initiative of the state government. The chargers are primarily intended for state service vehicles. Most will also be open to the private vehicles of state employees and members of the public.

Paul Höller, State Secretary in the state's Ministry for Economic Affairs, Industry, Climate Action and Energy, attended the symbolic launch. He said the state is placing chargers where people move in daily life and tied the effort to its goal of a climate-neutral state administration.
