Publisher note: The total value of this concession contract is an estimate based on a range of forecasted variables associated with the delivery and operation of electric vehicle charging infrastructure. These variables include the anticipated number of charging sockets to be installed over the contract term, projected utilisation levels of the charging assets, and expected revenue streams accruing both to the Provider and the Authority. The estimate also incorporates expected electricity consumption and associated costs required to operate the charging network. As these factors are subject to change over time in line with demand and energy market conditions, the stated contract value represents a forecast rather than a fixed commitment.
