LINDA (Laadpaal Infrastructuur Data in Dutch roughly translates to Charging point infrastructure data) is the NDW data portal that provides municipalities and regions with insight into the use of public charging points. The data helps determine where charging points need to be expanded. LINDA collects, analyses and shares data to support policy, research and new services.
LINDA uses data provided by Charge Point Operators (CPOs). This data is stored in the NDW data portal Dexter and can be viewed via the LINDA Dashboard. In this way, LINDA contributes to better monitoring, the energy transition and the achievement of climate goals.
What can you do with LINDA?
- Gaining insight into the use of public charging stations via up-to-date charging data.
- Identifying locations where charging points need to be expanded.
- Viewing various KPIs, such as occupancy rate, charging time and energy consumption.
- Exporting data for analysis in policy and research.
- Using data for the development of new mobility and energy services.
- LINDA was developed on behalf of the G4 municipalities and the National Charging Infrastructure Agenda (NAL) regions and is managed by NDW.
Frequently asked questions
For local authorities, NAL regions and other relevant parties responsible for planning and monitoring charging infrastructure.
KPIs such as total charging time, utilisation rate, energy consumption, number of sessions and unique users (RFIDs). Individual charging sessions (CDRs) are also available to authorised users.
Up-to-date data makes it possible to plan the expansion of charging stations in a smart way, monitor occupancy rates, and substantiate policy. This supports the energy transition and contributes to a more efficient charging infrastructure.
These include Allego, Equans, Qwello, Total Energies, Ubitricity, Vattenfall, and WeDriveSolar. The list is regularly updated.
At present, the data is only available to authorised users. The parties aim to make non-privacy-sensitive data available as open data in the future, provided that the data owners agree.
