Direct Power for EV Charging Parks
Whether you are a logistics company or a charge point operator (CPO), a direct line to a nearby wind or solar farm enables you to use renewable electricity directly for your charging infrastructure. VSB develops a tailored electricity supply solution that takes into account your location, electricity demand and technical requirements.
We connect your charging hub to a nearby solar or wind farm via a dedicated direct line. The electricity generated there is supplied directly to your site, without using the public electricity grid. Supply is based on a tailored Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). This enables renewable electricity to be integrated into your charging infrastructure’s long-term energy supply.
Directly from the generation site to your charging hub
A direct line from a nearby wind or solar farm enables renewable electricity to be supplied directly to your charging hub, without using the public electricity grid for the electricity delivered in this way. The dedicated connection is typically installed underground, helping to reduce the amount of electricity drawn from the public grid.
This model is particularly suitable for logistics centres, commercial and industrial sites, or charging hubs with significant electricity demand. Depending on the contractual arrangements, it can provide greater long-term predictability of electricity costs without requiring you to invest in your own generation assets. The potential economic benefits depend on the location, electricity consumption and contractual model.
Your benefits at a glance
Direct connection to the generation site: Electricity from wind or solar energy is supplied directly from a nearby generation site to your location via a dedicated line, without using the public electricity grid for the electricity delivered in this way.
Transparent electricity origin: The direct link to the wind or solar farm makes it possible to trace the electricity back to the generating facility. Guarantees of Origin can also be used where appropriate.
Supplementary electricity supply: If generation from the connected facility does not meet your current demand, additional electricity can be supplied under a separate electricity supply agreement.
Greater long-term cost predictability: Depending on the location and contractual model, direct electricity supply from wind or solar energy can offer economic advantages over other procurement options.
Long-term contractual terms: A PPA can establish agreed prices or pricing mechanisms for a defined period. This provides greater long-term cost certainty for part of your electricity supply and helps limit exposure to short-term market price fluctuations.
Our Services:
1. Site Analysis and Assessment
VSB operates a broad portfolio of wind and solar assets across Europe.
We assess the proximity of suitable generation assets to your sites and the technical feasibility of a direct line.
Based on your electricity demand and charging infrastructure requirements, we develop a technical site concept, including an economic assessment.
Together, we define the next steps based on the technical and commercial evaluation.
2. Planning and Implementation of the Direct Connection
Depending on the project and contractual model, VSB may contribute to the investment costs of the direct line.
We provide agreed services across project planning and delivery, from initial concept through to commissioning, including:
Project development
Coordination with relevant stakeholders, such as landowners, municipalities and grid operators
Coordination of the contractors and trades involved
Technical commissioning and, where required, subsequent maintenance services
3.Conclusion of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
The aim is to establish a long-term electricity supply from a nearby wind or solar asset on contractually agreed terms.
We support you with contract structuring and the agreed energy market processes.
At your request, we can also provide support with applications relating to the German GHG quota (THG-Quote) for publicly accessible charging infrastructure.
