Regulatory News:
REN – Redes Energéticas Nacionais, operator of the Portuguese
electricity and natural gas transmission networks, and Atlante, the
company of NHOA Group (Paris:NHOA) dedicated to electric vehicles
(EVs) fast and ultra-fast charging network, signed today, February
1st, a Memorandum of Understanding for the development of five
projects in Portugal using the Speed-E grid connection solution,
developed and patented by REN, in selected Atlante fastcharging
stations.
Speed-E is an innovative solution that enables the charging of
electric vehicles through a direct connection to the electricity
transmission network, i.e. Very-High-Voltage transmission lines. By
enabling a direct connection to the transmission network, in
addition to providing significant power for electric vehicle
charging purposes, the solution paves the way to the expansion of
charging infrastructures to locations where the transmission
network is present. In Portugal, this represents an extension of
approximately 9,000 km. The solution ensures the power supply of
multiple fast and/or ultra-fast chargers simultaneously, and its
modular architecture also enables the customisation and progressive
scalability of projects, according to customers' power requirements
and an ever-growing EV penetration.
The partnership between REN and Atlante will result in the
world's first EV fastcharging stations directly powered from
Very-High-Voltage transmission lines. This underscores Atlante’s
commitment to always implementing the most advanced technological
solutions to deliver EV drivers an uncompromised charging
experience, while mitigating the globally ever-increasing power
demand.
For João Faria Conceição, REN’s COO: "This partnership reflects
REN's ability to develop solutions that address the energy
transition, while positively contributing to the decarbonisation of
society. Atlante is an obvious partner for speed-E in Portugal, not
only due to its broad experience in the charging sector but also
its recognition, from the onset, of this innovative tool strategic
potential to promote faster and safer charging of electric
vehicles, thus mitigating future challenges related to an increased
need for power availability".
“We are extremely excited to partner with REN to be the first to
implement REN’s groundbreaking technology to efficiently convert
power for electric mobility. Portugal is at the forefront of
zero-emission driving and it represents a living example of how
well thought-through policies contribute to create the right
ecosystem for charging operators to thrive, with huge benefits to
conscientious drivers. Rooted in NHOA R&D heritage,
technological evolution has always been the backbone of our
mission. We can’t wait to see how Speed-E will transform the
EV-charging landscape in the next months”, commented Giovanni
Ravina, Atlante Iberia CEO and Atlante Innovation Officer.
The solution developed by REN has been repeatedly recognized by
entities in the energy and mobility sectors. In 2022, the Speed-E
solution won the “Good Practice of the Year” award in the
“Technological Innovation and System Integration” category,
bestowed by the Renewables Grid Initiative. It also emerged as the
winner in the “Charging & Energy” category of the sixth edition
of eMove360º, one of the biggest mobility 4.0 mobility fairs in the
world.
Atlante network spans across Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal,
where the company is currently one of the largest Charging Point
Operators (CPO).
With over 3,500 points of charge online and under construction
in its four countries, Atlante aims to develop the largest fast and
ultra-fast charging network in Southern Europe, 100% enabled by
renewables and serving customers of all electric vehicle brands and
models, thereby driving the transition to zero-emissions
mobility.
REN is strongly committed to Research, Development and
Innovation (R&DI), one of the company's strategic pillars. The
company’s commitment to R&DI aims to create and develop
solutions to efficiently and effectively meet energy objectives at
both national and European levels, while also supporting efforts to
address climate change challenges and contributing to REN’s
performance of excellence in terms of security and quality of
energy supply.
REN
REN – Redes Energéticas Nacionais operates in two major business
areas: the transmission of very high voltage electricity and the
overall technical management of the Electricity System; the
transportation of natural gas at high pressure and the overall
technical management of the Natural Gas System, ensuring the
reception, storage and regasification of LNG, as well as the
underground storage of natural gas. REN is also present in the
telecommunications business, through RENTELECOM, which includes
diversified services, including infrastructure, managed services or
consulting. By meeting all the quality and safety criteria
required, REN wants to be one of the most efficient European
electricity and natural gas transmission system operators and thus
build value for its shareholders.

Atlante
Atlante is a company of NHOA Group (NHOA.PA, formerly Engie
EPS), global player in energy storage and e-mobility, which
develops technologies enabling the transition towards clean energy
and sustainable mobility, shaping the future of a next generation
living in harmony with our planet.
Atlante is developing the largest fast and ultra-fast charging
network in Southern Europe, 100% enabled by renewables, enhanced by
energy storage and on-site photovoltaic. It aims to install in
Italy, France, Spain and Portugal 5,000 fast and ultra-fast points
of charge by 2025, and over 35,000 by 2030.
Operating since October 2021, Atlante has today more than 1,850
charging points online in its four countries with thousands more
under construction and development. Leveraging on the technological
heritage of the NHOA Group, including via collaboration with its
sister company Free2move eSolutions, Atlante is a preferential
network of the Stellantis automotive group and its customers.
Atlante stations are fully interoperable and can be accessed by
virtually any e-mobility app or charging card, and by any make and
model of electric vehicles.
