What we build
EV charging.
EV charging is a smaller, growing part of what Saga does. We develop charging sites where the grid can support them, and we look first at locations next to battery storage or distributed generation. Pairing charging with on-site energy reduces the strain new charging load puts on the local grid.
Why we site charging next to storage
A row of fast chargers can draw as much power as a small commercial building, and it draws that power in short, sharp peaks. On a constrained feeder, that can mean a long wait and a costly upgrade before a site can open. A battery on the same site charges during off-peak hours and discharges when drivers plug in, which flattens the peak the utility sees. Local solar can supply part of that energy. The result is a charging site that asks less of the grid.
What a Saga charging site looks like
- Sited next to a Saga battery storage or distributed generation project
- DC fast charging and Level 2 charging, matched to the location and how long drivers stay
- Commercial lots, retail and travel corridors, and fleet depots with distribution-level interconnection
- Flexible ownership: developed and owned by Saga, or ground-leased to an experienced charging operator
Who we work with
- Property owners. Parking areas and small parcels near busy roads can earn lease income from charging, with or without storage on the same site.
- Charging operators. We bring sites with a clearer path to power, because the grid work starts with the storage or generation project next door.
- Utilities and co-ops. Charging paired with storage adds new EV load without adding the same peak to the distribution system.
