Belgium: TotalEnergies to install 800 charge points in Ghent
The move comes after landing tenders to install more than 3,500 EV charging stations in Brussels and Antwerp.
TotalEnergies to install 800 new public charge points in Ghent, Belgium’s third largest city, by 2025. The international energy company has won a call for tenders from the city.
These new charging stations, to be installed by TotalEnergies and operated for the next ten years, will be supplied with 100% renewable electricity generated by offshore wind power in the North Sea off the coast of Belgium.
To optimize the existing network, the City of Ghent will also analyze the usage rate of EV charging stations already in operation to determine if the current offering should be reinforced with additional charge points in certain districts.
“We thank the city of Ghent for the trust they have granted us for the coming decade. This partnership rewards the quality of our EV charging offering and the commitment of our teams, fully focused on our customers and future users,” said Bernadette Spinoy, CEO of TotalEnergies Marketing Belgium.
After winning public contracts to install and operate more than 3,500 EV charging stations in Brussels and Antwerp, TotalEnergies is cementing its role as a major player in electric mobility in Belgium. The Company is also developing a full network of High-Power Charge (HPC – up to 175 kW) points at its service stations and continues to install charge points for professionals and individuals across the country.
These developments are in line with TotalEnergies’ ambition to operate more than 150,000 EV charge points in Europe by 2025.
