Atlante, one of Europe\u2019s largest EV fast-charging operators, and a subsidiary of Taiwan\u2019s TCC Group Holdings, has unveiled plans for expansion in 2026, including the deployment of more than 200 integrated storage-and-charging systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The company already operates over 1,000 charging stations with more than 3,700 charging points across Southern Europe. Speaking at TCC Group\u2019s investor meeting on Nov. 27, Atlante CEO Stefano Terranova said the company is preparing an accelerated rollout next year, supported by its strategic ties with TCC, the custom-built Energy Ark storage system, and strong backing from EU and national governments.<\/p>\n
Managing 100% green energy and expanding the continent-wide network <\/p>\n
Atlante powers all charging stations with 100% green energy. Although the company operates in markets where renewables already exceed 50% of electricity generation, guaranteeing pure green sourcing still requires dedicated management, Terranova said. The company maintains a specialized green energy team, with at least one expert in each operating country, tasked with navigating cross-border market rules. \u201cIn the European market, each country is different, so the solution has to be tailor-made for each country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
To maintain renewable integrity, Atlante works exclusively with suppliers that produce electricity from 100% renewable sources. In Italy, for example, it sources electricity from Dolomiti Energia, a Dolomites-based energy company whose portfolio consists entirely of hydro and other renewables, Terranova told RECCESSARY.<\/p>\n
Even with dedicated suppliers, Atlante still participates in the spot market, which requires careful internal hedging to manage exposure to the region\u2019s extreme price swings. Daily fluctuations can reach up to 180 euros\/MWh in markets such as Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, said TCC President Roman Cheng (\u7a0b\u8000\u8f1d). Atlante\u2019s strategy focuses less on managing electricity volumes and more on mitigating volatility, which has become a defining challenge as Europe\u2019s renewable share grows.<\/p>\n
Storage is increasingly central to this effort. Atlante currently has 42 storage systems online across four countries, including roughly 20 sites equipped with the new EnergyArk, a storage system designed by TCC specifically for Atlante\u2019s operational needs. Storage allows the company to buy power during low-price periods, such as sunny midday hours with high solar output, and discharge during peak hours, enabling cost optimization despite volatile markets. These storage-integrated stations also feed into Atlante\u2019s Virtual Power Plant (VPP), which participates in capacity markets, frequency regulation, and wholesale arbitrage.<\/p>\n
