Amsterdam awards the installation of new charging outlets to the combination Nuon/Heijmans and Essent
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
's-Hertogenbosch - To meet the increasing demand for electric charging outlets,
Amsterdam initiated a tendering procedure in 2010 for 1,000 public charging
outlets. The combination Nuon/Heijmans, together with Essent, was awarded the
contract for installing the charging posts. The contract spans a period of three
years, including the supply of green power. Both parties can enter the market at
the same time for the purpose of offering charging services to electric car
users.
Additional charging outlets are required
In the near future, more and cheaper cars will be driving on Amsterdam's
streets. The City of Amsterdam is collaborating with various car manufacturers
who will be bringing electric cars to market in 2011. Amsterdam is mainly
expanding the charging network. Based on projected need, 1,000 public charging
outlets will be added to the streetscape over the next three years. The new
charging outlets will be able to accommodate the new and existing standard plug
in the Netherlands (Type 2, Mode 3).
Background
The first public charging outlets in Amsterdam went into service on 6 November
2009. Currently, the city has more than 200 charging outlets, 100 of which are
located on streets (installed by Nuon and the network manager Liander). Each
public charging outlet has at least one fixed user. The charging cards of all
providers are now compatible with every charging outlet in the Netherlands.
Electric Amsterdam
Amsterdam in 2015 is required to meet the European air quality standards.
Electric transport benefits air quality because there are no local emissions of
hazardous substances. Furthermore, the technology is significantly more
efficient resulting in a reduction in the use of energy. Cars in Amsterdam are
charged using green power generated from renewable energy sources.
Nuon and Heijmans partnership
Energy supplier Nuon is aware of the fact that due to the development of
electric transportation, the energy needs of consumers and companies are
changing. In Heijmans it has found a partner with a great deal of experience
with working in public spaces and with the construction of above and below
ground infrastructure. The two companies are complementary partners. Nuon
supplies green energy and contributes its consumer service facilities. Heijmans
will install and maintain the required infrastructure. Electric transportation
is an excellent fit with Heijmans' sustainability goals. Indeed, the latter will
soon lead to an electric driving pilot within the company, among other things.
