Land acquisitions to deliver city and urban EV charging hubs to the UK

We understand the challenges faced by both landowners and developers in this rapidly changing sector and as such we want to explore opportunities to grow our EV portfolio, offering landowners the opportunity to work with an experienced and trusted company who holds sustainability and safety at its core.

We are looking to work with landlords and developers and are seeking a range of sites to expand our network on both freehold and leasehold basis. Our hubs are intended to suit the site in question and our team are available to work with property developers and landowners to make sure what we deliver works for them. On top of vehicle charging, our distributed energy teams also employ technological advances in flexible generation and storage, district heating and electrical networks optimising generation and load using digital platforms. Combined with advanced data analytics, we give our clients the opportunity to visualise, control, and trade energy flexibly. We understand the challenges faced by both landowners and developers in this rapidly changing sector and as such we want to explore opportunities to grow our EV, solar PV and battery storage portfolio, offering landowners the opportunity to work with an experienced and trusted company who holds sustainability and safety at its core. Our criteria.

• Grid Capacity
• Typical lease term of 20 years
• Located near to primary arterial roads (for traffic flows to promote ease of use and utilisation)
• Near to major transport hubs (airports, trains stations, stadiums) for taxis and waiting drivers
• At or near local amenities – for example: retail parks, shopping centres, sports venues, industrial & commercial centres, cafes and restaurants
• Unrestricted access/egress site, available 24/7 preferred
• Available access 24/7 preferred
• Site size allowing for minimum of 6 bays

The bus industry is currently facing continued decline and significant investment will be required to provide supporting infrastructure.

Providing EV bus Infrastructure

A wide range of challenges have led to the year on year decline in bus patronage since 2009. Innovative financing models are being developed by operators to enable the technology deployment, thereby reducing costs to depots. However, there are a significant number of depots where this is not possible

Our solution

We develop, build, finance and optimise energy infrastructure: power & heat, storage, electric vehicle infrastructure and private network connections;working with partners and our colleagues in the SSE Group to aggregate, operate and optimise assets. Offering energy infrastructure services and solutions under one reliable operation, combining energy design and management know-how with selected supply-chain specialists we can bring breadth and depth to our innovative energy solutions.

For you as a bus operator reducing carbon emissions and particulates is of the highest importance. As an energy services provider, this is integral to SSE Energy Solutions sustainable business practices.

We have a broad portfolio of solutions to meet your individual needs to maximise your energy savings and accelerate your journey to net zero:

• Solar On-site generation from the PV system to off-set the energy consumption or export to the local DNO to gain additional revenue.
• Solar/Battery Hybrid Excessive energy generated from the on-site PV system can be stored and re-utilised to charge electric buses during peakelectricity tariff hours or export to the grid and gain additional revenue
• Community shared hubs Providing shared access to charge points when not in use to support localbusinesses and gain additional revenue
• Smart/5G optionality Under the Smart Cities initiative, smart and 5G technologies would be value-adding to the bus operators
• Opportunity charging We can support en route charging from charge points to pantographs
• Independent Network Distribution Operator SSE can provide a point of connection service that owns and operates the on-site HV equipment and provides a financial contribution to build costs.

We have played a key role in the initial electrification of buses in London. We also deliver the electrification of routes for both national and regional operators, leading selected partners, and are also able to invest in the infrastructure required. Following close collaboration with operators, transport authorities and bus companies, we successfully installed over 250 charging points across 6 London depots, as well as 43 points at the Waterloo bus depot for Go-Ahead London.

Managing electricity infrastructure is a core business of SSE Energy Solutions and managing them effectively is how we can make a difference for our customers. We offer partnership with owners of Private Electricity Networks to design, build, invest and operate their electricity infrastructure.

Customers who own private electricity networks can frequently find the management of this non-core activity to be more of a burden than a benefit. This however is our area of expertise – we can adopt and manage your private electricity network, taking responsibility for its network resilience and improving its energy efficiency and sustainability.

We have an excellent track record of delivering electricity networks for new and existing developments in all principal sectors of the construction market. Our Independent Electricity Network Partnerships aim to deliver solutions that bring together the diverse needs of the customer into a single unified outcome that maximises both short and long–term benefits.

SSE Energy Solutions also has a licensed IDNO business (Optimal Power Networks) for public networks. Further information on Optimal Power Networks Limited can be found here.

Whole System Thinking

We invest in our customers’ non-core electrical infrastructure, offering you security and adopting risk. Through Whole System Thinking, we drive towards savings and cost certainty, enabling your journey toward Net Zero, providing you with the power to control how your energy is procured, generated, managed and secured.

According to recent data, heavy goods vehicles in the UK emitted more than 21.4 million metric tons of carbon pollution in 2021 - an increase of 9.2 percent from the previous year. This, combined with a post pandemic surge in online purchase behaviour means an increase in the number of HGVs on the road, and therefore the need for greener solutions.

For a successful charging network, appropriate sites need to be secured with enough capacity. Better planning, designing and construction will need to be bolstered with the right materials and suppliers. At SSE Energy Solutions, we see ourselves as early enablers in the transition to eHGVs and are looking to engage with HGV fleet operators to discuss potential solutions to enable them to get on the road to net zero.
