EV Charges at The Balfour

From midday on Monday 18 August, the Electric Car Chargers at The Balfour (at the front entrance) will be temporarily turned off. This temporary measure will be in place until the chargers can be updated and fitted with a cost charging mechanism.

Since opening The Balfour, it was intended that these chargers would be available for patients and visitors to use but at a cost and until now we have opted to not introduce this charge. However, with the rising costs of energy and given our financial pressures, we have decided that now is the right time to introduce charges.

As a reminder, there are other charging facilities across Kirkwall which can be found here, https://chargeplacescotland.org/

We will share the timescales for introducing charging once known.
