together to accelerate the installation of fast charging stations
in Belgium
Ascencio, an investor in retail real estate, and
Allego, a leading European provider of electric vehicle charging
solutions, have signed a partnership agreement to install electric
vehicle chargers in Ascencio's car parks.
Once the technical usage analyses have been
completed and the necessary permits obtained, the two partner
companies will expand the network of charging stations in Belgium
by installing 212 charge points at a total of 45 sites owned by
Ascencio.
This ambitious project is an excellent example
of the deployment of Ascencio's ESG strategy across its property
portfolio, which, in addition to environmental aspects and a focus
on modern mobility systems, also takes into account the importance
of meeting the needs of local communities.
The installation of these charge points is a
response to growing demand for charging zones in strategic
locations frequented by consumers. The super chargers, with a power
rating of up to 400 kW, will enable customers at the sites
concerned to do an “electric fill up” in 15 to 30 minutes, while
they shop. This new service will further enhance the customer
experience in the shopping areas concerned.
The strategic locations of Ascencio's assets
will also enable passing motorists to easily access charging zones
along their route, while at the same time allowing them to take
advantage of attractive shopping areas.
This partnership does not require any investment
by Ascencio and will create value for its real estate
portfolio.
Bernard Sergeant, Head of Operations and ESG at
Ascencio: "Our partnership with Allego is a great example of a
win-win project as part of Ascencio's ESG strategy: it aims
to move towards carbon neutrality for ground transportation, while
making our commercial sites more attractive by offering super-fast
charging to our customers, local residents and passing motorists -
all at no cost to our retailers. To achieve this, Ascencio has
joined forces with a specialist partner (with over 35,000 active
charge points) which has extensive experience in installing and
operating electric vehicle charging sites. With an already
significant presence in Flanders (and in 16 European countries),
this partnership will enable Allego to extend its coverage in
Wallonia.
"As a European charge point operator, we have
the largest public charging network in Belgium (with both slow and
ultra-fast charging stations). We have been able to achieve this
growth thanks to our landowner partners, such as Ascencio, as well
as networks of petrol pumps and road network operators.
Retail outlets on the outskirts of towns and
cities are strategic locations both for drivers, who can access
charge points along major roads and do their shopping while
charging, and for retailers, who benefit from the increased
footfall of customers on the retail site," comments Thomas
Vandervecken, Business Developer Manager Belux at Allego.
