Eaton and AMP IT Collaborate to Offer EV Charging-as-a-Service Integrated With Solar and Energy Storage to Building Owners in Switzerland

Eaton, a global leader in intelligent power management, and AMP IT SA, a company focused on financing, installing and operating electric vehicle charging systems, are collaborating on a new project to help building owners optimize the efficiency and system performance of electric vehicle charging infrastructure (EVCI) without the complexity of EVCI ownership.

The project, which is targeted at scaling EV charging infrastructure in multi-residential , office, industrial and logistics buildings, is supported by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy after recently winning an award in its RechargeAuPoint program that promotes innovative projects in the field of charging infrastructure.

In the context of this business model, Eaton’s Buildings as a Grid approach combined with AMP IT’s smart charging solutions makes it possible to manage the renewable and conventional energy requirements of a building without owning or maintaining related assets such as EV charging infrastructure, energy storage and solar panels. Eaton and AMP IT plan to roll out similar business models in other EMEA countries in the future.

Leveraging the Buildings as a Grid approach to energy management, AMP IT has coordinated an impressive ecosystem of project partners. As well as Eaton, the partners include publicly traded real estate investment funds, experienced service operators, leading energy, procurement and construction (EPC) companies, local utility companies and academic partners interested in this transformative approach to EV charging by leveraging buildings as integral components of microgrids.

“Decentralized energy production and management is essential to meet growing global energy demands and this project shows how collaboration and technology developments such as our Buildings as a Grid approach will make the energy transition sustainable and profitable for everyone involved,” said Andreea Laplace, director, sustainability and energy transition offerings at Eaton.

“We trust that this program will bring significant contributions to e-mobility with smarter EV charging solutions making better use of locally produced renewable energies, enhanced energy self-consumption schemes, and cost-effective battery storage solutions, in various use cases,” said Ilya Tyuvildin, AMP IT co-founder.
