PLUG charging lands Welsh government charger deal

Cardiff-based PLUG Charging has secured a major government contract to support Wales’s EV transition.

The firm will now deliver charging solutions across Wales, including EV charger installations, lamp post chargers, roof solar, and solar car ports, after its successful placement on the Welsh Government’s EV Charging Infrastructure Framework.

PLUG Charging has been awarded a place on multiple lots within the £45 million framework, including both electric vehicle charge points and emerging technologies. The framework encompasses the public sector in Wales, covering over 200 eligible organisations, and will address public and depot charging needs. As part of the framework, PLUG will also offer off-grid, net-zero charging solutions, and all energy supplied through PLUG’s chargers will be sourced from 100% renewable sources, reinforcing the company’s commitment to a sustainable future.

Jarrad Morris, CEO and founder of PLUG and sister company FleetEV, said: “We’re thrilled to be recognised as a key player in the Welsh Government’s EV Charging Infrastructure Framework. This is a monumental step forward for us and the public sector in Wales.

“Through this framework, we have the opportunity to provide sustainable, green energy-powered charging solutions, and the inclusion of solar technologies like roof solar and solar car ports enhances our ability to create a resilient, future-proof charging network. We’re eager to engage with the organisations involved and drive real change in Wales’ EV landscape.”
