The Harburg district intends to ensure an adequate expansion of public and semi-public charging infrastructure (LIS) for use by citizens, businesses, and visitors in cooperation with the three member municipalities Elbmarsch, Stelle, and Salzhausen (hereinafter referred to as "concession providers").

LOT-0001
Service Concession - Establishment and Operation of Public Charging Infrastructure for the Municipality of Stelle as well as the Samtgemeinden Elbmarsch and Salzhausen.
The basis for the expansion and establishment of public charging infrastructures in the Harburg district is the charging infrastructure concept developed by the concession providers (Annex 1 Charging Infrastructure Project). The goal regarding the planned charging infrastructure offering is the strategic development of a demand-oriented public charging infrastructure for the consideration period up to 2030. Approximately 62 locations with about 140 charging points are planned for the expansion of the public charging infrastructure. About 3% of the locations are initially intended as DC charging stations, although this share can be increased in consultation, e.g., at traffic-intensive junctions. The charging points should meet the requirements of modern electromobility and provide a sustainable and user-friendly infrastructure. A service provider is sought to establish and operate the required charging infrastructure based on the aforementioned charging infrastructure project. This service provider should completely take over the tasks of user management, access control, billing, as well as the monitoring of charging processes (so-called "operator model"). For this purpose, the concession providers are granting a concession for the planning, establishment, operation, as well as maintenance and, if necessary, dismantling of public LIS in the district. All charging stations are to be operated 100% with electricity from renewable sources. Requirements for the quality of green electricity - 100% renewable energy* - Annual proof of green electricity quality through origin certificates** * Electricity from renewable, non-fossil energy sources, meaning wind, sun, geothermal energy, ambient energy, tidal, wave and other marine energy, hydropower, and energy from biomass, landfill gas, sewage gas, and biogas. Only energy carriers according to the BiomassV are classified as biomass. Liquid biofuels and biomass fuels must additionally meet the sustainability criteria of the BioSt-NachV. ** A HKN must contain at least the following information: - Details about the generation facility (type, category, location, capacity, commissioning date, start and end of electricity generation) - The amount of electricity generated (in megawatt-hours) - The type and extent of subsidies received by the facility during its construction or the electricity produced - The issue date of the HKN, the issuing country, and a unique identification number. The concessionaire is responsible for adhering to the subordinate legal regulations applicable for the establishment and operation of an LIS during the contract period, the generally recognized rules of technology, and the applicable technical standards in their current version at the time of the contract conclusion, particularly including the following: a) Regulation (EU) 2023/1804 of September 13, 2023, on the establishment of infrastructure for alternative fuels and repealing Directive 2014/94/EU (AFIR), insofar as it directly regulates the obligations of operators of charging points (in particular, Article 5 of the regulation), b) Regulation on minimum technical requirements for the safe and interoperable establishment and operation of publicly accessible charging points for electrically powered vehicles (Charging Stations Regulation - LSV) of March 9, 2016 (BGBl. I p. 457), last amended by Article 1 of the regulation of June 17, 2023 (BGBl. 2023 I No. 156), in its currently applicable version,
