Vattenfall InCharge, a leading charging point operator in Europe, has been awarded a tender to install 22,000 additional charging points in Brabant and Limburg. This expansion will increase the company’s total installations in these regions to 59,000 charging points. The tender was issued on behalf of the local councils by the two provinces.
Key Highlights:
- Vattenfall InCharge will install 22,000 additional charging points in Brabant and Limburg.
- The company’s total installations in these provinces will grow to 59,000 charging points.
- The project involves high demands for cyber security, price transparency, and ease of use.
- The expansion aligns with the energy transition and grid-conscious charging practices.
- This tender marks Vattenfall InCharge’s third public charging award in a year.
Fabian Hagmann, Head of E-mobility at Vattenfall, expressed gratitude, stating, “We are honored by the trust the Dutch provinces Brabant and Limburg have placed in us. Our proven public infrastructure track record demonstrates our reliability as a leading charging point operator in Europe. With our solution, we can actively stabilize the grid and maximize the use of sustainable electricity. As part of our commitment to electrifying transportation, this new concession will expand our charging network across Sweden, the Netherlands, and Germany, to more than 1 Gigawatt, which equals 90,000 charging points.”
The new charging stations will meet stringent requirements for cyber security, price transparency, and ease of use. Each station will feature a display showing price and charging information. Importantly, the locations for these new charging points will be based on predicted usage patterns, ensuring they are installed where the demand is highest.
Vattenfall’s charging infrastructure will support grid-conscious charging, adjusting capacity based on the available grid capacity to reduce congestion. This approach allows the company to temporarily lower the power of the charging stations in high-demand areas during peak times, such as evenings when many people return home.
This tender win follows Vattenfall InCharge’s recent successes, including contracts with the Hague City Council for 5,400 charging points and the Amsterdam Metropolitan Region for 35,000 charging points in partnership with two other operators.
