Singapore-based solar company LHN Energy will launch an integrated Solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) and Direct Current (DC) fast-charging solution in early September 2026, targeting businesses transitioning to electric heavy vehicles (eHVs).

The new service combines solar generation, DC fast charging and project delivery under a single energy infrastructure plan.

It is designed for businesses operating heavy vehicles from depots, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, industrial sites and other locations where vehicles can return for scheduled charging.

Potential users include logistics and transport companies, fleet operators, distribution centres, manufacturers, construction and engineering businesses, and other companies planning to introduce eHVs.

Under the Solar PPA model, LHN Energy finances, installs and maintains the solar system, while the customer purchases the electricity generated under an agreed arrangement.

Before developing a project, the company assesses the planned eHV deployment, charging requirements, electricity consumption, rooftop solar potential and available electrical capacity to determine the appropriate configuration.

"Our focus is on reducing the amount businesses need to commit at the start of their fleet transition. By combining Solar PPA, DC fast charging, integrated project delivery, and approved EHVCG support within one commercial structure, eligible projects may be structured with zero upfront infrastructure cost. This will depend on project eligibility, site assessment, grant approval, the financing structure, and final commercial terms," revealed Jeremy Ong, Senior Manager of LHN Energy.

The rollout also incorporates Singapore’s Electric Heavy Vehicle Charger Grant (EHVCG), which runs from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2028.

The scheme co-funds up to 50% of eligible charger installation costs, capped at S$30,000 per charger, for the first 500 approved chargers.

Eligible costs can include charger systems, Licensed Electrical Worker fees, cabling and installation.

As the grant is reimbursement-based, businesses must complete the required approval and claims process before receiving funding.

LHN Energy said it can incorporate EHVCG support alongside Solar PPA financing, charger supply and installation, electrical works and commissioning.

The approach provides businesses with a single point of coordination for key infrastructure requirements and aims to reduce the need to manage multiple vendors, financing arrangements and installation schedules.

As fleet electrification expands, businesses face increasing requirements to assess charging capacity, site power and long-term energy demand alongside vehicle purchases.

"For businesses moving towards Heavy EVs, the investment does not stop with the vehicles. Charging capacity, site power requirements, and long-term energy demand also need to be planned together. Our aim is to provide an energy infrastructure model that allows businesses to address these requirements as part of one coordinated project," said Jeremy Ong, Senior Manager of LHN Energy.

LHN Energy expects growing eHV adoption to increase demand for scalable charging infrastructure and site readiness, with the new service aimed at supporting both initial fleet deployment and future expansion. -OGN/TradeArabia News Service
