BEIJING, Sept. 22,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- On September 16, at the 2023 Zaozhuang
International Lithium Battery Industry Expo, NaaS (NASDAQ: NAAS),
the first U.S. listed EV charging service company in China, signed a strategic cooperation
agreement with the People's Government of Tengzhou City of Shandong
Province. This agreement encompasses a wide range of collaborative
efforts, including the operation of charging stations, the
development of a versatile "source-grid-load-storage" system,
fostering innovative businesses, and the digitization of energy
management. It aims to foster collaboration in various sectors,
including new energy infrastructure and low-carbon transportation
energy systems, to support the region's transformation and upgrade
of transportation energy.
Collaboratively, the two parties are dedicated to enhancing
service quality across various dimensions, including charging
service product management, station operations, and customer
engagement. The goal is to craft a distinctive public charging
network operation brand that embodies the unique features of
Tengzhou. Meanwhile, leveraging the advantages of Tengzhou's
lithium battery industry cluster, the parties will create a model
"PV-storage-charging-inspection-service" integrated charging
station to construct a multifaceted "source-grid-load-storage"
electrical system that encompasses PV, energy storage, charging,
battery swapping, and V2G capabilities. Such efforts will
reinvigorate the dynamism of businesses along the entire industry
chain, capitalizing on the synergy between "new infrastructure, new
energy, and new industries," and fostering a cohort of pioneering
enterprises in the field of new energy.
NaaS will also rely on digital technology to collaborate with
Tengzhou City in establishing an integrated monitoring platform for
electric vehicle charging piles. This platform will encompass the
"user end, management end, and display end," creating a seamless
closed-loop management process for charging services. Additionally,
both parties will focus on urban energy digital management,
constructing a city-level energy digital brain platform to develop
a comprehensive monitoring, management, and service system for
urban energy throughout its entire lifecycle.
At the same time, harnessing the distinctive features of
Tengzhou's energy market, NaaS prioritizes the construction of new
infrastructure projects in two key energy domains: "fueling" and
"charging". As the parent company of NaaS, NEWLINKS integrates
multiple energy sources, including oil, electricity, hydrogen, gas,
PV, and a range of diverse industries such as dining, retail, and
post-vehicle services. It not only offers energy supply facilities
for motor vehicles but also provides users with a venue for energy
experiences and commercial services. Supported by this initiative,
NaaS will concentrate on developing a set of exemplary and scalable
comprehensive energy hub projects based on the existing and future
gas station plans in Tengzhou City. This endeavor will aid Tengzhou
City in its efforts to be established as a model city for
comprehensive energy services.
Within the domain of integrated PV-storage-charging services,
NaaS installs distributed PV systems on carports and station
structures, allowing for self-consumption of solar power. This not
only boosts the utilization of renewable energy but also includes
energy storage facilities of a specified capacity. Consequently, it
lowers electricity expenses during peak hours, strengthens the
capacity for renewable energy integration, and engages in peak-hour
electricity trading and power support services, thereby reducing
expansion costs and optimizing economic returns.
NaaS, a subsidiary of NewLink, successfully listed on NASDAQ on
June 13, 2022, marking its position
as China's first public EV
charging stock. It offers an all-encompassing suite of services
spanning the entire industry chain, including charging station
siting consulting, software/hardware procurement, EPC, operation
& maintenance, energy storage, PV, and automated charging
robots. By June 30, 2023, NaaS'
network has successfully connected with 652,000 chargers and 62,000
charging stations.; In 2023 Q2, NaaS' charging volume ran at 1.228
billion kWh, representing 21.7% of the national total.
As a subsidiary of NewLink, NEWLINKS serves as an energy asset
operator, bringing together a variety of energy sources, such as
oil, electricity, hydrogen, gas, PV, and a range of diversified
industries like dining, retail, and post-vehicle services. It
offers comprehensive one-stop energy services and is dedicated to
creating a new lifestyle experience for vehicle owners.
Additionally, NEWLINKS offers seven major empowerment strategies
for gas stations, encompassing branding, traffic, digitalization,
operations, supply chain, finance, and new energy. These
initiatives help gas stations achieve comprehensive upgrades in
branding, digitalization, and the integration of energy services.
NEWLINKS has already partnered with Chevron, the second-largest
integrated energy company in the United
States, to introduce the dual-brand "Caltex-NewLink" gas
stations.
