• Energy Estate US and Kilows are partnering to develop an integrated renewable energy and EV charging development in Santa Nella, California, bringing together solar generation and next-generation electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

• The partnership aims to demonstrate how renewable energy, energy storage and transport infrastructure can be designed and delivered together, creating a more efficient, resilient and sustainable model for transport electrification.

• The collaboration supports the broader vision of the proposed San Luis Industrial Complex (SLIC) by showcasing how coordinated infrastructure development can drive clean energy growth, industrial decarbonisation and regional economic development in California's Central Valley.
  

Partnership to deliver innovative model linking renewable energy generation with next-generation electric vehicle charging infrastructure
Energy Estate US Holdings (EEUS) and Kilows have entered into an exclusive collaboration to develop an innovative clean energy ecosystem in Santa Nella, California, bringing together renewable energy generation and electric vehicle charging infrastructure.

The parties will investigate opportunities to connect Energy Estate's San Luis Solar Project with Kilows' proposed electric vehicle charging facility. The initiative supports the vision of the proposed San Luis Industrial Complex (SLIC), a strategically located infrastructure hub designed to bring together renewable energy, advanced industry, digital infrastructure and transportation networks in California's Central Valley.

“This collaboration reflects our belief that the most successful infrastructure projects integrate energy generation with the industries and communities they serve. It’s an exciting opportunity to demonstrate the broader vision behind the San Luis Industrial Complex, and to support California’s accelerating investment in decarbonisation,” says Neal Aronson, Energy Estate Director USA.

Creating a blueprint for renewable-powered transport
Kilows is developing a new model for electric vehicle charging infrastructure that incorporates energy storage and direct integration with renewable energy sources. Under the agreement, the parties will work together on development planning, permitting and project design.

“Renewable energy, energy storage and ultra-fast charging are strongest when designed together. We’re excited to explore an innovative model with EEUS that can help accelerate transport electrification in California,” says John Strisowser, Kilows Founder.

"Santa Nella is an ideal location to demonstrate how charging infrastructure and clean energy can be developed as a connected system. We believe this approach can provide a blueprint for future transport corridors and help meet the growing demand for electrified freight and mobility solutions."

The parties also see potential for this integrated model to inform future collaboration opportunities in Australia and New Zealand, where renewable energy, energy storage and transport electrification are becoming increasingly interconnected.

A Shared Commitment to Innovation
The collaboration is focused on a simple goal:
Delivering smarter infrastructure outcomes by aligning renewable energy, energy storage and transport demand from the outset.
