Trojan Energy to install more than 500 chargers in London borough of Camden

UK Charge point operator Trojan Energy has won a contract by Camden Council to install 570 charge points in the London borough. And these have a rather unusual design.

Instead of installing charging columns, Trojan Energy offers AC chargers that are close to the ground – about 50 cm above the pavement. The CPO refers to it as ‘flat & flush’ technology.

Moreover, the AC chargers offer up to 22kW and can be installed in clusters of up to ten. They are linked via underground cables that feed into cabinets that can be located up to 100 metres away. They also feature parking bay sensors, explains Trojan Energy, which means that “dedicated bays are not required, smoothing the transition for all drivers in the borough.”

But back to the contract in Camden. All 570 charge points will be installed by the end of 2026. The first 70 charge points will go online as early as July of this year, Trojan Energy specifies. The borough previously tested the technology during a pilot as part of Innovate UK in 2022.

“We are delighted to continue our partnership with Camden Council. Trojan Energy’s mission has always been to ensure everyone benefits from the energy transition,” says Ian Mackenzie, CEO of Trojan Energy. “We are delighted to continue our partnership with Camden Council. Trojan Energy’s mission has always been to ensure everyone benefits from the energy transition. “After the huge success of our trials in 2022, we are delighted to now be able to support the Borough’s ambition towards sustainable travel, the switch to EVs, and to help residents who are keen to see many more of our charge points rolled out across Camden.”

“Our rollout of hundreds more EV charge points will help us meet the objectives we set out in Camden’s Transport Strategy, which aims to deliver a sustainable transport system and streets that are accessible and inclusive for all,” adds Councillor Adam Harrison, Cabinet Member for Planning and a Sustainable Camden. “By promoting active travel such as walking and cycling and facilitating this shift to electric vehicles with convenient charging points, we hope to improve air quality, reduce emissions, and support environmental resilience across the borough.”
