To mark the creation of the joint venture between Ardent Invest and Dream Energy, Didier Smet, COO of Ardent Invest, and Philippe Baudry, CEO of Dream Energy, were invited to appear on the LN24 program "DEMAIN". During the show, they discussed the challenges of energy transition, electric mobility and sustainable development. They also presented their new joint initiative, Dream Energy Ardent, aimed at developing fast-charging solutions in Belgium.
Summary of speech
What are the objectives of the collaboration between Dream Energy and Ardent Invest?
Dream Energy and Ardent Invest have formed a joint venture to deploy a network of fast-charging stations in Belgium. Their aim is to make electric mobility more accessible by reducing recharging time for electric vehicles to around 20 minutes. This also enables companies to support their ESG initiatives by adopting low-carbon recharging solutions.
What makes this collaboration unique?
The collaboration is based on a shared vision of sustainability and complementary skills, integrating sustainable real estate projects with fast-charging infrastructures. By combining their expertise, Dream Energy and Ardent Invest are creating an efficient, sustainable recharging network to meet the growing need for electric mobility in Wallonia.
What are the benefits for users and companies?
Dream Energy's superchargers considerably reduce the recharging time of electric vehicles, offering a user experience comparable to that of combustion-powered vehicles. For companies, this represents a green and efficient recharging solution, particularly advantageous for their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reports.
What are the ambitions and first stages of this project?
The first fast-charging stations will open in the second half of 2024, with an initial target of 10 stations. These stations will be strategically located to maximize accessibility and efficiency, requiring complex infrastructure and significant investment. Rapid expansion of the network is planned to meet the growing demand for fast charging solutions.
The collaboration between Dream Energy and Ardent Invest is an important step in Belgium's energy transition. By joining forces, they are facilitating the adoption of electric vehicles and contributing to a more sustainable future through innovative, environmentally-friendly recharging solutions.
