HOCHTIEF Group - Investment in a fast-charging network for electric vehicles (Deutschlandnetz, September 2023, HOCHTIEF Europe)

  • HOCHTIEF and its JV partner EWE Go, a mobility company owned by utility company EWE, have been awarded with a contract to finance, plan, build and operate a fast-chargingnetwork for electric vehicles by the German Federal Ministry of Transport
  • As part of the so-called federal government's Deutschlandnetz tender, which targets a Germany-widenear-termroll-out of fast-charging points, the JV has secured 2 regional lots in the West and North-Westregion
  • HOCHTIEF and EWE Go will install a total of 852 charging points at 96 locations (see map). Each station will have 4 to 16 charging points each which the JV will build and operate for the long-term
  • Total capex amounts to around EUR 250m including a substantial double-digitequity investment
  • The investment reflects the group's strategy to invest equity in high-tech growth sectors where we can apply the financing, project management and O&M capabilities built up over many years in the PPP business
  • Similar models are expected in various other European countries to meet the increasing demand for EV chargers
