An Innovative Collaboration
Eaton, a global leader in intelligent power management, and AMP IT SA, a company specializing in the financing, installation, and operation of electric vehicle charging systems, are collaborating on a new project aimed at helping building owners optimize the efficiency and performance of electric vehicle charging infrastructure (EVCI) without the complexity associated with EVCI ownership.
The project, which aims to expand electric vehicle charging infrastructure in multi-residential, office, industrial, and logistics buildings, is supported by the Federal Office of Energy after recently winning an award under its RechargeAuPoint program, which encourages innovative projects in the field of charging infrastructure.
The Buildings as a Grid Approach
As part of this business model, Eaton's Buildings as a Grid approach combined with AMP IT's intelligent charging solutions allows for the management of a building's renewable and conventional energy needs without owning or maintaining related assets such as EV charging infrastructure, energy storage, and solar panels.
Eaton and AMP IT plan to deploy similar business models in other countries across the EMEA region in the future.
By leveraging the Buildings as a Grid approach to energy management, AMP IT has coordinated an impressive ecosystem of project partners. In addition to Eaton, partners include publicly traded real estate investment funds, experienced service operators, leading energy, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms, local utility companies, and academic partners interested in this transformative approach to EV charging by utilizing buildings as integral components of microgrids.
