Åkersberga Golf Club has partnered with Smartports to redevelop an existing parking area into productive and sustainable energy infrastructure, aiming to create a modern and attractive facility for its members and guests.

The new energy hub will comprise 12 parking spaces with integrated solar panels, 12 EV charging points and battery storage. The solution will make it possible to generate, store and use energy locally, while providing visitors with EV charging and protection from sun, rain and snow.

“With this solution, we can combine EV charging and weather-protected parking with local renewable energy generation” said Peter Wissinger, CEO of Åkersberga Golf Club.

The partnership demonstrates how existing parking areas can be used to generate local energy and create mobility and long-term value without requiring additional land.

“Parking areas have significant potential to become an important part of the energy system of the future” added Johan Gren, COO of Smartports Sweden. “Together with Åkersberga Golf Club, we are creating a local energy hub where solar power, battery storage and EV charging work together in one place.”
