How to be a CPO?
Operador de Ponto de Carregamento
The CPO is the licensed holder, according to articles 14 and 15 of the Decree-Law no. 39/2010, (see here), whose activity consists in the installation, provision, operation and maintenance of charging points pertaining to public or private access, integrated into the electric mobility network.
With the CPO license, the operator may advance with the installation of charging stations, turning to manufacturers whose equipment has already been validated for usage in the Mobi.E network, in:
- Public access places – provided that they possess licenses for private use of the public domain;
- Private spaces for public or private access - provided that they possess authorization from the owner of the respective space.
In all cases where connection to the technical systems used by the Electric Mobility Network Managing Entity is mandatory, the operator must guarantee technical, technological and safety compatibility between the charging equipment that they install and the systems and equipment of the Electric Mobility Network, the Electric Mobility Network Managing Entity and the electricity distribution network.
In legislative terms, the Decree-Law no. 90/2014 should be noted (basic legislation and global framework) (see here), as well as the following ordinances for the licensing process for being a charging point operator:
