Energy consultancy NFU Energy has partnered with electric vehicle (EV) charging network Zest to extend its business energy services to include Zest EV charging solutions.
NFU Energy customers will benefit from Zest’s fully funded and managed EV charging infrastructure, giving advice and practical support to businesses, with a special focus on agriculture and horticulture.
The partnership will help landowners and farmers to diversify by transforming underused brownfield sites into a sustainable revenue stream, through solutions including EV charging hubs, destination EV charging and solar canopies.
Zest is backed by the government-sponsored £420m Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund (CIIF), designed to accelerate the UK’s provision of public access charge points. Through CIIF, Zest has invested in facilities and projects including with Metrocentre, Hackney Council and Transport for London.
Lisa Howkins, NFU Energy Sales & Marketing Director, said: “We’re delighted to partner with Zest as part of our Renewable Energy Solutions service. With all our partnerships, we look for specialists with longevity; that meet high customer service standards from the initial design phase to the ongoing operation. We believe Zest will provide just that when they invest in our customers.”
“Our mission is to provide abundant and convenient EV charging right across the UK,” said Robin Heap, Zest CEO. “The decision to work with NFU Energy was an easy one, given their unrivalled understanding of the needs of farmers and rural landowners.”
