NatPower Marine has acquired the Aqua superPower international electric charging network from ATV Power.
Aqua superPower spans multiple markets worldwide and comprising more than 80 ports and marinas across Europe and North America, including the French and Italian Rivieras, together with networks in the UK, America, Austria, Spain and Sweden.
The acquisition aims to integrate this expertise and operational capability into the NatPower Marine platform, supporting its ambition to expand this electrification model beyond recreational boating to include large commercial ports and maritime hubs.
The acquisition will enable NatPower Marine to integrate Aqua superPower’s operational footprint with NatPower Marine’s execution capabilities, with the aim of overcoming alignment issues between energy supply, grid access, permitting, financing and operations.
As such, the new platform will combine Aqua superPower’s existing network of operational charging infrastructure and its pipeline of projects across ports and marinas with access to capital and development capabilities.
Operational presence
“This transaction marks a decisive step forward for us: we are no longer just developing infrastructure but building a platform capable of operating on an international scale,” said Fabrizio Zago, CEO of NatPower.
“The addition of Aqua superPower to our ecosystem provides us with an immediate operational presence in key markets and strengthens our ability to deliver projects effectively and at scale on a global level.”
Stewart Wilkinson, CEO of ATV Power, added: “Joining NatPower Marine enables us to scale our platform faster and extend our reach, building on the network we have already developed.”
The agreement was presented during the Monaco Energy Boat Challenge where a live hydrogen refuelling demonstration also took place, showcasing NatPower’s broader strategy of integrating multiple energy technologies within a single infrastructure model.
NatPower Marine is a NatPower Group company.
