Cardiff-based Plug Charging has agreed terms to acquire the charging estate and associated customer contracts of EV infrastructure specialist Energy Park, adding strategically located charging assets across North Wales, Surrey and Penzance to its growing national network.
The acquisition marks Plug Charging’s third strategic acquisition in the last 12 months, following the successful integration of charging assets from Wattif and Pilot Group. Together, the transactions form part of the company’s wider buy-and-build strategy, positioning Plug Charging as one of the UK’s fastest-growing independent charge point operators.
The deal significantly strengthens Plug Charging’s presence in North Wales, a region where electric vehicle adoption continues to accelerate while public charging provision remains below national averages. The acquisition also expands the company’s reach into key locations across England, supporting its ambition to deliver reliable charging infrastructure in areas underserved by larger national operators.
The UK EV charging market is entering a period of consolidation as operators face increasing pressure to achieve scale, maximise asset utilisation and deliver consistent service levels.
Plug Charging is actively capitalising on this opportunity, combining strategic acquisitions with organic deployment to build a nationwide charging network focused on long-term operational performance and customer service.
Energy Park customers will transition onto the Plug Charging platform, benefiting from enhanced network management, proactive monitoring, 24/7 driver support and the operational resilience of a rapidly expanding national operator.
The acquisition increases Plug Charging’s operational footprint across key regional markets and expands its portfolio of recurring charging revenue assets.
Alongside its growing commercial charging network, Plug Charging continues to deliver charging infrastructure projects through a number of national and regional procurement frameworks, creating a diversified platform spanning both asset ownership and infrastructure delivery.
Jarrad Morris, Founder and CEO of Plug Charging, said: “This acquisition is about scale. The charging market remains fragmented, with many high-quality assets sitting within smaller networks. Our strategy is to bring those assets together under a single operating platform, improve performance and customer experience, and build a national network with the scale needed to succeed long term.
“Energy Park has developed an excellent portfolio of sites in strategically important locations and we’re excited to bring them into the Plug Charging network. This is our third acquisition in 12 months, and we continue to see significant opportunities across the market.
“North Wales is a particularly important market for us. EV adoption continues to grow rapidly, but charging infrastructure has not always kept pace. This acquisition strengthens our position in the region and supports our wider mission of delivering high-quality charging where it is needed most.”
