attenfall and Honda have signed a letter of intent to introduce convenient home charging solutions and flexible energy


contracts specifically tailored for electric vehicle (EV) owners in Europe. This service will initially be rolled out in the UK and Germany in 2020. Vattenfall’s goal is to enable a fossil free life within one


generation. Electrification of transport combined with a renewable energy contract will play an important part in this transformation. Vattenfall will oversee the installation of the Honda Power Charger - a smart, domestic charge point - through preferred contractors in the UK and Germany. Customers will be offered a competitive renewable electricity contract with Vattenfall. The partnership marks a key milestone for Honda in the


development of its energy management business, representing an important pillar of its ‘Electric Vision’ strategy in Europe. When the electric car owner doesn't charge at home, it is


possible to charge through Vattenfall’s public charging network InCharge, which connects the EV driver with a wide network of public charging points in Northwest Europe.


M


any companies are in danger of experiencing significant downtime


during a power failure, as it’s revealed that one quarter of UK energy decision makers do not have a contingency plan in place. The research of 200 UK energy decision


makers, which was commissioned by Aggreko, found that although 82 per cent described power continuity as a major or significant concern, there are many who don’t have a plan in place in case of an outage. In the midst of power irregularity and


ageing equipment across the UK, companies are increasingly at risk of system downtime. And, while many companies have a contingency plan in place for such events, it is not uncommon for them to become quickly outdated. As well as regular checks, Aggreko is


urging those responsible to consider how effective they would be in a time of crisis. Aggreko has highlighted six key


considerations of a contingency plan that UK industry needs to be aware of. Detailed in its latest industry report, Planning for failure: How robust is your contingency plan?, Aggreko has created a guide to ensure there are no stones left unturned when it comes to planning for an emergency outage.
