Blofield SuperHub

Blofield SuperHub

SuperEVs first SuperHub, the blueprint for future rollouts

One of the UKs most advanced Charging hubs.

The Blofield Superhub represents the definitive operational blueprint for our scalable clean energy infrastructure platform. Situated on a 7-acre site near Norwich, the site is positioned directly adjacent to the high traffic A47. This location combines excellent commercial roadsite retail opportunities with space to develop the needed energy assets.

Full planning permission is granted and in place for a large solar park, BESS infrastructure, a rapid EV charging hub, and three premium food and beverage units. An additional supermarket element is currently progressing through standard amended planning to further anchor the location.

Behind-the-Meter Technical Architecture

To ensure we can provide enough power for all our tenants and to charge EVs, we will build a sophisticated behind the meter energy system.

Secured Grid Capacity: An executed 2 MVA grid connection position secured directly with the Network Operator.

  • On-Site Generation: A 1.35 MWp high-efficiency solar PV array to capture localized renewable energy.
  • Utility Storage: A 2 MW / 4 MWh (2-hour duration) utility-grade Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).

This architecture enables advanced peak shaving and load shifting. By storing renewable energy and low-cost, off-peak power to discharge during peak demand intervals, the hub radically reduces peak grid import requirements and uncouples operations from localized network volatility.

Commercial & Tenant Configuration

By deploying a standardized framework, the Blofield facility seamlessly integrates high-density energy infrastructure with premium, multi-tenant commercial real estate.

The Site Mix Includes:

  • EV Infrastructure: A premium rapid EV charging hub featuring 20 ultra-rapid charging bays. This utilizes a company-owned infrastructure model alongside strategic third-party concessions leased to global operators.
  • Commercial Units: Fully demised retail, cafĂ©, and food tenant spaces designed to drive high-density consumer footfall.

All occupational licenses, concessions, and template leases are structured to prioritize institutional-grade tenants with strong balance sheets. Contracts are strictly lender- and buyer-friendly, enforcing long-term tenures, robust RPI/CPI indexation, and clear landlord step-in rights to secure corporate credit protections.

Underwriting Projections & Revenue Optimization Stack

The commercial viability of the Blofield Clean Energy Hub is built upon a highly diversified, multi-layered target revenue stack designed to maximize cash flow stability and satisfy senior project finance lenders.

Underwriting Profile:

  • IRR: Combined across income streams at over 17%.
  • Property Income: Underpinned by highly defensive, long-term indexed property lease rents.
  • Energy & Flexibility Margins: Composed of direct EV retail charging income, behind-the-meter private-wire PPAs to commercial tenants, and optimized BESS market revenues.

By partnering with top-tier optimizers using automated dispatch logic, the BESS actively captures wholesale arbitrage and frequency response revenue (such as Dynamic Regulation) while maintaining downside floor-price protections to mitigate merchant volatility.

Asset Delivery Schedule & Milestones

SuperEV drives all pipeline assets through a strict series of institutional stage-gates to transition risk effectively from development to operational stability. The execution roadmap for the Blofield hub is scheduled as follows:

  • Q4 2026: Detailed engineering and procurement finalization.
  • Q1-Q4 2027: Target site construction.
  • Q1 2028: Planned Commercial Operation Date (COD) and transition to the stabilized operational phase.

Circular Economy & Sustainability Impact

The Blofield Clean Energy Hub is explicitly engineered to accelerate regional electrification while actively protecting the local electrical network from severe peak-demand spikes.

Our environmental and governance framework aligns with standard institutional infrastructure reporting metrics:

Responsible Development: Integrating proactive community engagement, local procurement compliance, and strict site health and safety indicators aligned with GRESB infrastructure frameworks.

Carbon Offset & Generation: Delivering high-volume renewable solar generation to commercial tenants via private-wire infrastructure, lowering the delivered cost of power and reducing local carbon intensity.

Circular-Economy Storage: Utilizing specialized second-life Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to dramatically decrease the embodied carbon of the hub’s physical infrastructure footprint.
