Mitie is reinforcing its work to support clients switching to EVs by acquiring Rock Power Connections.

Mitie has already delivered several thousand EV charging points for customers

Rock Power is an independent connection provider, specialising in the design and installation of new high-voltage electricity supplies, the renewal of electrical assets up to 132kV and electric vehicle charge points.

The acquisition builds on Mitie’s existing EV infrastructure support – it’s already delivered several thousand EV charging points for a broad range of customers and end-users – and will enable the business to provide new connections to the electric grid, high-voltage assets renewals and end-to-end electric vehicle charging infrastructure solutions.

These services will support Mitie’s delivery of green projects and enable it to address the energy total cost of ownership of both new and existing clients.

Rock Power will be integrated into Mitie’s Technical Services division, supporting its broader Plan Zero and Green Projects services, and co-founders Matt Crampton and Kev Sankar will both join Mitie.

Carlo Alloni, managing director, technical services and integrated facilities management, Mitie, said: “With the sale of new petrol and diesel cars set to end by 2030, the UK’s transition to electric vehicles will accelerate over the next decade. However, to ensure that the move to zero carbon transport is a success, it is vital we have the right infrastructure in place to support rapid charging at scale.

“This acquisition of Rock Power Connections Limited will allow us to build on our EV and high-voltage power capabilities which, combined with our technical services expertise and national scale, will enable us to further support both Mitie and Rock customers with their decarbonisation journeys.”
