The European electric vehicle charging sector is set for a major green energy boost as renewable energy producer Tion Renewables GmbH has signed a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with IONITY. Under the agreement, Tion to supply solar power directly to IONITY’s high-power charging (HPC) stations across Germany starting in 2027.
Long-Term Renewable Energy Partnership
The partnership marks a significant step toward sustainable electric mobility in Europe. Through the agreement, Tion Renewables will provide clean electricity generated from its expanding portfolio of photovoltaic (PV) solar farms. The deal ensures that IONITY’s growing network of ultra-fast EV chargers will continue operating with renewable energy as demand for electric vehicles increases.
The agreement also gives both companies long-term stability. While IONITY secures a reliable supply of green electricity for its charging infrastructure, Tion gains predictable demand for its renewable power generation projects.
Supporting Europe’s EV Expansion
As electric vehicle adoption accelerates across Europe, the need for sustainable charging infrastructure is becoming increasingly important. The announcement that Tion will supply solar power to IONITY’s German charging points highlights the industry’s push toward climate-neutral transportation solutions.
IONITY currently operates more than 6,000 charging points across 24 European countries. The network is already powered exclusively by renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and hydropower. Its charging stations can deliver ultra-fast charging speeds of up to 350 kW, helping EV drivers reduce charging times significantly.
Major Automakers Behind IONITY
Founded in 2017, IONITY is backed by several global automotive giants, including BMW Group, Ford Motor Company, Hyundai Motor Company, Kia Corporation, Mercedes-Benz Group, Volkswagen Group, and BlackRock’s Climate Infrastructure Platform.
According to IONITY’s energy management leadership, the partnership will help the company secure renewable electricity at scale while supporting climate-friendly mobility across Europe.
Tion’s Renewable Growth Ambitions
For Tion Renewables, the collaboration is another milestone in its aggressive expansion strategy. The company aims to achieve an installed renewable energy capacity of 3 GW by 2030. In addition to supplying solar power to one of Europe’s largest EV charging networks, the company strengthens its position in the clean energy market.
Industry experts believe the move could become a model for future collaborations between renewable energy producers and EV infrastructure providers. As Europe moves toward carbon neutrality, partnerships where Tion supplies solar power to charging networks may play a vital role in reducing transport emissions and accelerating the clean mobility transition.
