Aegis Energy

What Aegis Energy does

Aegis Energy is a UK-based private energy infrastructure company building the country's first network of clean multi-energy refueling and recharging hubs for commercial vehicles. Founded in 2022 and registered in England and Wales (company number 13949000), the company plans to deploy up to 50 hubs offering electric charging (up to 400kW, MCS-ready), HVO, hydrogen, and bio-CNG refueling, with the initial five-station network (Sheffield, Immingham, Warrington, Corby, Towcester) targeted for completion by end of 2027 and the first station scheduled to open in early 2026. Each hub is designed to serve 40+ HGVs and 25+ vans simultaneously at strategic locations—motorway junctions, ports, and logistics parks—reducing approximately 14,300 tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum once operational. The company's technology stack includes a driver and fleet manager mobile app for session management and payment, alongside R&D programmes: ScanSpot (sensor fusion with University of Oxford), PayLoad (grid demand analytics with Innovum and AKTEK), and international pilots PowerFarm (Tanzania) and Zephattan (Côte d'Ivoire, Fiji).

The business model is usage-based and transaction-driven: fleet operators pay for charging sessions and alternative fuels either via pay-as-you-go or through the Trailblazers subscription programme, which offers preferential rates, dedicated account management, and influence over hub design. Revenue streams include EV charging services, alternative fuel sales (HVO, bio-CNG, hydrogen), and ancillary driver welfare facilities (parking, toilets, showers, food). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting HGV and LCV fleet operators, complemented by self-serve app-based booking and a community-driven Trailblazers programme. Aegis Energy secured £100 million in private equity funding from Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners in January 2025—Quinbrook's inaugural sustainable transport investment—and has acquired strategic real estate at the former Littlebrook Power Station site in Dartford (M25 corridor) from Tritax Big Box REIT and Bericote Properties. Operations are run from Wakefield with a registered office in London, and the company is led by CEO Michael Shaw and co-founder Christopher Thorneycroft-Smith.

Revenue model

1. Electric Vehicle Charging Services: Revenue from high-speed EV charging for commercial vehicles at hubs. Fleet operators pay for charging sessions either via app-based booking or pay-as-you-go basis. Each hub has capacity for 40+ HGVs and 25+ vans simultaneously.
2. Alternative Fuel Sales (HVO, Bio-CNG, Hydrogen): Revenue from sale of alternative fuels including Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), bio-CNG, and hydrogen for commercial vehicles. Fuels are sold as drop-in replacements for diesel, supporting fleet decarbonisation.
3. Driver and Fleet Facilities: Revenue from driver welfare facilities including parking, toilets, showers, and food services at hubs.

Core offering

Aegis Energy builds and operates a UK network of clean, multi-energy refuelling and recharging hubs for commercial vehicles (HGVs and vans), providing high-speed electric charging (up to 400kW, MCS-ready) alongside drop-in alternative fuels including HVO, hydrogen, and bio-CNG. Each hub includes driver welfare facilities (parking, toilets, showers, food) and is sited at strategic logistics corridors such as motorway junctions, ports, and freight interchanges. The company is developing an initial 5-station network (Sheffield, Immingham, Warrington, Corby, Towcester) with plans to scale to 30 hubs by 2030 and 50 hubs overall.

Product overview

Aegis Energy operates a unified network of clean multi-energy hubs for commercial vehicles, combining electric charging (up to 400kW, MCS-ready), HVO, hydrogen, and bio-CNG refuelling with driver welfare facilities. The network is complemented by a proprietary mobile app enabling drivers to locate sites, monitor and pay for charging sessions, and fleet managers to track vehicle data. The company also runs the Aegis Trailblazers programme offering fleet operators discounted rates and input into hub design. R&D projects ScanSpot (sensor fusion with University of Oxford), PayLoad (grid demand analytics with Innovum and AKTEK), PowerFarm (off-grid solar/wind/biogas charging in Tanzania), and Zephattan (wind charging in Côte d'Ivoire and Fiji) support the core infrastructure business.
