Autobahn GmbH des Bundes has successfully completed the tender for almost 1,000 fast-charging points at 200 unmanaged motorway service areas as part of the 'Deutschlandnetz' charging network. The contracts were awarded to Fastned, E.ON, the bidding consortium Autostrom Nord and TotalEnergies.
According to Autobahn GmbH, the three operators or three individual operators and the bidding consortium should have installed the charging points by 2026. A total of six nationwide lots were put out to tender, each containing 32 to 34 locations. Each site comprises 4, 6 or 8 fast-charging points β so in total, around 1,000 HPC points are to be created.
In the announcement on the awarding of the lots, however, Autobahn GmbH only states which four bidders were awarded the contracts. However, with six lots put out to tender, it is clear that some bidders have won more than one lot.
However, the announcement does not reveal who these are. Fastned has stated in a separate announcement that it has been awarded one of the lots. βThe 34 new sites are mainly located in the northern half of Germany so that the company can expand its network there,β it says. 400 kW charging points will be installed at these locations.
