    The energy transition starts at home. Every day, more people choose electric driving. And with that choice comes a new expectation: charging should be simple, reliable and future proof. That’s exactly what we set out to build. Our latest campaign shows how smart, well-designed charging solutions fit seamlessly into everyday life, without compromising on quality, safety or ambition. Built with the same expertise we’ve been bringing to the energy system for decades. We build infrastructure people can trust, today and tomorrow. We’re proud to share this next step. And even more proud of the people and craftmanship behind it. 👉 Discover the campaign here: https://lnkd.in/ezEwWbKG #EnergyTransition, #EMobility, #Parternship, #EVCharging, #EvePlus#BuiltToMoveWhatMatters

    We love to see our partners leading the way in the energy transition through large real estate projects such as this one. MobilityPlus France is installing 200 charging points at Stories - The inspiring village, a 64,000 m² campus in Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine, near Paris. In the same token, they are implementing dynamic power management to optimise energy consumption, ensuring efficient use of resources and improved charging performance. The project reflects a commitment from AXA Investment Managers and BNP Paribas Real Estate to sustainability, combining building performance, user experience, and the shift toward cleaner mobility. 👉 Learn more (in French): https://lnkd.in/dd8NH2YP

    Say hello to Aisha. On our assembly line, she helps build every charging station with care before it reaches the road. Her work goes beyond assembling components. It’s about precision, quality and pride in every detail. Aisha’s love for cooking taught her to trust her eyes and her instincts. That same attention now guides her work at Alfen, helping to craft charging stations that meet the highest standards across Europe. Colleagues call her “Mama Aisha.” Not just for the meals she shares, but for the warmth, support and dedication she brings to her team and to the products she helps build. Because dependable EV charging doesn’t start with technology alone. It starts with people who care about how things are made.

    At Alfen, the energy transition is built by people. Meet Aisha. She works on our assembly line where every charging station is carefully built before it goes out into the world. What Aisha does goes far beyond putting parts together. It’s about attention, quality and pride in what you create. Her passion for cooking taught her to work with her eyes; to see when something is right. That same attention to detail now shapes the charging stations Alfen delivers across Europe, every single day. Aisha joined Alfen without a technical background, but with curiosity and determination. She learned, grew, and became a trusted part of the team. Today, colleagues know her as “Mama Aisha”, not only for the food she brings, but for the care she brings to the workplace and to the products she helps build. Because reliable EV charging doesn’t start with hardware alone. It starts with people who care about how things are made.

    Mobility is electrifying. But the real transformation is happening in energy. The first phase of e-mobility was about installing chargers and removing range anxiety. The next phase is about energy intelligence. MobilityPlus understands that charging stations and electric vehicles are not just endpoints, they are active assets in the energy system. Assets that can balance grids, unlock flexibility and accelerate the energy transition. That vision demands openness. Open protocols. Open systems. Open collaboration. Together with partners like Alfen, MobilityPlus is building an ecosystem where charging infrastructure integrates seamlessly with energy management, supports grid needs and stays future-proof, without vendor lock-in. This is what “mobility meets energy” looks like: ⚡ Smart energy steering ⚡ Open, interoperable charging ⚡ Security by design ⚡ Simplicity for drivers, intelligence behind the scenes We’re proud to share the MobilityPlus story as part of our 'Built to move what matters' campaign; a perspective that goes beyond hardware and looks at the system as a whole. 👉 Discover the full story here: https://lnkd.in/efQF-HKW #EnergyTransition, #EMobility, #EVCharging, #EvePlus, #BuiltToMoveWhatMatters

    Alfen has been selected by Renner Energies to supply a 12MW, 2-hour battery energy storage system in Virton, Belgium, following the customer’s financial close. Building on our track record of large-scale storage systems across Belgium, from the coast of Oostende to now the southern tip in Virton, this project will deploy our modular TheBattery Elements technology to support grid flexibility and enable trading access to various energy markets. The system will be connected to the local DSO Ores and delivered full turnkey by Alfen, including civil works and grid connection. This marks the first battery storage investment for Renner Energies, a major international developer in wind and solar. Alfen supported the customer throughout the process, from early consultancy to final contracting. “This project reflects a clear shift in the energy landscape,” says Yves Vercammen, Country Manager Belgium at Alfen. “We’ve worked closely with the client to navigate their entry into battery storage, backed by one of the world’s largest institutional investors.” Construction started last month, with commissioning expected by summer 2026. #TeamAlfen #TheBatteryElements

    Charging isn’t the end of the system; it’s the new point of control. Europe’s energy reality is shifting fast. More electrification. More volatility. More pressure on the grid. In this world, charging infrastructure becomes something bigger: a smart, connected layer that can steer energy, stabilise demand and keep the system moving. This is the future we’re building towards, starting now. Explore what’s next at https://lnkd.in/et5q_TmH #EnergyTransition, #EMobility, #EVCharging, #EvePlus, #BuiltToMoveWhatMatters

    We are proud to announce that Alfen will be delivering two new battery storage projects in Belgium: a 35MW with 4 hours of storage capacity in Geel and another one in Massenhoven. Both sites will connect to the Elia transmission grid at 150kV and deploy 30 battery container units of our TheBattery Elements technology. These systems will store surplus renewable electricity and feed it back to the grid when it’s needed most. This is an important step towards a more flexible and reliable energy system in Belgium. Construction is set to start in mid-2026, with commercial operation expected at the end of 2027. We’re looking forward to working with HybriX Energy, who will operate the systems across multiple energy and flexibility markets, helping to build a cleaner, more resilient energy landscape for Belgium.

    Europe is entering a new energy reality. One where every connection matters, every node counts, and every smart decision helps keep the system in balance. Charging is at the heart of this shift. No longer a passive endpoint, but an active, intelligent partner in the grid. Today, we move forward with a vision that reflects that truth.
