TotalEnergies Wins the City of Antwerp Public Tender for the Installation and
Operatorship of New Electric Vehicle Charge Points
The City of Antwerp, Belgium's second-largest city, has awarded the extension
and development of its public charging network for Electric Vehicles (EV) to
TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE). As part of this exclusive
contract, the largest to date awarded in the country, TotalEnergies will
expand the existing network of the city of Antwerp by installing new EV charge
points by 2024, including high power charge.
Awarded until 2034 for standard charging points (22 kW) and until 2038 for
high power charge points, the contract covers the supply, the installation,
the technical and commercial operation of the public charging network. The
entire electricity needs of this network will be covered by green electricity
produced by TotalEnergies, notably from offshore wind farms, allowing
Antwerp’s EV users to benefit from a 100% renewable electricity charge for
their vehicles.
"We are very pleased to have been entrusted by the City of Antwerp with this
concession over the coming years, and we will use our expertise to support the
evolution of mobility for its citizens. This success strengthens
TotalEnergies' ambition to further accelerate its transformation into a broad
energy company," underlined Alexis Vovk, President Marketing & Services at
TotalEnergies. "In Belgium, as in other markets where we are expanding into
electric mobility, we are committed to providing a user experience and
electric charging services that meet our customer’s expectations.”
“We are very pleased with this agreement. Based on realistic forecasts, it
allows us to meet the needs for charging infrastructures in Antwerp, while at
the same time responding rapidly and efficiently to the concrete questions
posed by the development of electric mobility in the city," said Koen Kennis,
First Alderman in charge of mobility for the city of Antwerp. "The city of
Antwerp and its citizens are indeed very keen to allow a judicious and
reasonable deployment of charging stations in the streets, in order to
preserve the urban aesthetics, while keeping a fair number of parking spaces
for the inhabitants.”
This new contract strengthens TotalEnergies' position as a key player in
electric mobility in Europe, in line with its ambition to operate more than
150,000 EV charge points by 2025. As the operator of the public network
Charge.Brussels and of medium & high-power charge points at its
service-stations, TotalEnergies is already a recognized player in electric
mobility in Belgium. With Antwerp, the Company pursue its development in
World's major cities, with a large portfolio charge points currently in
operation or in the process of being installed: Amsterdam and its region
(22,000), Paris (2,300), London (1,700), Singapore (1,500) …
