Contracted capacity in Endesa’s distribution network for electric car charging grows by 44% in 2025

• Over the last five years, it has skyrocketed by 2,700%, according to data from e-distribución, Endesa’s network subsidiary.
• Charging sessions carried out last year totalled 57.5 GWh, enough energy to travel 319 million kilometres.

During the past year, Endesa’s network subsidiary, e-distribución, accelerated the registration and grid connection of electric vehicle charging points for various operators, facilitating the deployment of electric mobility in Spain. The contracted capacity of public electric vehicle charging points connected to Endesa’s distribution network increased by 44% in 2025. Over the last five years, this figure has soared by 2,700%, rising from 9 MW recorded at the end of 2021 to 253 MW in 2025.

Charging sessions carried out at these facilities totalled 57.5 GWh last year, enough energy to travel 319 million kilometres – the equivalent of circling the Earth almost 7,900 times – and preventing the emission of 55,700 tonnes of CO₂.

The evolution of supply points contracted under the TDVE tariff also illustrates the progress of electric mobility over the past year. This tariff applies to owners of public access charging points (charge point operators, city councils, public car parks, service stations, etc.). During the past year, supply points under the TDVE tariff within the e-distribución network increased by 28%.

Distribution companies play a key role in the development of the charging network, as they are responsible for connecting the electrical supply line that powers the chargers installed by the companies operating in this business, known as CPOs (Charge Point Operators). Endesa’s network subsidiary operates as a distribution company in Andalusia, Aragon, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Catalonia and part of Extremadura, areas that account for 45% of public charging points, according to AEDIVE (Business Association for the Development and Promotion of Electric Mobility).

Fewer barriers, more collaboration

e-distribución actively participates in the technical committees of the CNMC (National Commission on Markets and Competition) and Aelec (Association of Electric Energy Companies), as well as in the GTIRVE (Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Working Group), promoted by the Ministry for the Ecological Transition to streamline the processing of charging points by eliminating barriers and obstacles identified in regional and local administrative procedures.

Over the past year, Endesa’s network subsidiary has promoted training sessions with AEDIVE, AORU (Association of Ultra-Fast Charging Operators) and CPOs to move forward in simplifying processes, resolving queries and analysing the latest legislative developments in the sector.

Furthermore, e-distribución has strengthened its website, where users can access practical information on installing a charging point, submit a connection request, and track in real time the status of their application and associated procedures.

Key facts about the public charging network

Who can install

• Any developer, business or shop with access to parking areas from public roads can install charging points.

How supply is managed

• If the contracted capacity is sufficient, no additional processing with the distributor is required.
• If additional capacity is needed, the process is managed through the electricity supplier.
• If a third party (a CPO) manages the point at a third-party business, a new supply connection must be requested from the distributor.

Who can promote public access points

• Public bodies (via public tender).
• Third parties (shops, businesses, etc.) without the need for public tender.
• The successful bidder must be a Charge Point Operator (CPO).

Where installation is mandatory

• Service stations that meet the legally established criteria.
• Non-residential public or private car parks, depending on the number of parking spaces.
• Corridors of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T).
