PP champions the sustainable mobility model launched in the previous term, naming Fuerteventura as a Canary Islands benchmark
The Popular Party (PP) of Fuerteventura has asserted that the sustainable‑mobility model promoted during the last legislative term of the Cabildo has enabled the island to become a reference point in the Canary Islands for electric‑vehicle infrastructure.
According to the party, the strategy devised by the former Ministry of Industry, then headed by Domingo Pérez, laid the groundwork for today’s Island Charging Network. The network now boasts three times more public charging points than were available when the PP first assumed responsibility for this portfolio.
The PP emphasizes that the network’s rollout followed a strategic territorial‑balance plan, ensuring coverage across the entire island. Rapid‑charging stations (50 kW) have been installed in key population centres, including:
- Corralejo
- Puerto del Rosario
- Gran Tarajal
- Pájara
- Betancuria
- Antigua
- Morro Jable
- Tuineje
- La Lajita
During the PP’s mandate, medium‑power points (22 kW) were also introduced in locations such as Lajares, La Oliva, Puerto del Rosario, Pájara, Antigua and Betancuria (both in Valle de Santa Inés and Vega de Río Palmas), as well as in Morro Jable. Additionally, slow‑charging points (10 kW) were installed in Caleta de Fuste and Costa Calma.
“It was a pride to promote an island model that truly bets on sustainability, with planning, territorial balance and a view toward Fuerteventura’s future,” said Domingo Pérez, PP councillor in the Cabildo of Fuerteventura.
Pérez stressed that the network’s deployment was not the result of improvisation, but of a strategy that treats electric mobility as a fundamental infrastructure for economic development and climate‑change mitigation.
He added that some projects remained pending at the end of the term, yet “the majority were projected, worked on and set on the right path,” leading to today’s results.
“The public network that Fuerteventura now has—the best in the Canary Islands—shows that when there is political vision and commitment, projects transcend legislative periods,” he highlighted.
The Popular Party maintains that sustainable mobility is essential for a modern, competitive island. Consequently, Pérez reaffirmed the party’s commitment, from the opposition benches, to ensure the charging network is maintained, expanded and improved, guaranteeing that Fuerteventura continues progressing toward an environmentally‑respectful model.
