Highways England awarded a contract to Ameresco for the supply, installation, and maintenance of Energy Storage Systems across England.

The systems provide temporary supplementary electricity capacity and load balancing to reduce demands on permanent electricity networks at various locations without requiring supply upgrades, in accordance with National Highways' standards.

This contract supports the Government's commitment to install a minimum of six high-powered electric vehicle charge points at all Motorway Service Areas in England by 2023, enabling rollout where existing Distribution Network Operator or National Grid capacity is insufficient.

The contract, valued at £6,561,413.89, was procured through the Crown Commercial Services HELGA DPS.
