June 18 (Renewables Now) - French energy group Engie SA (EPA:ENGI) has taken over UK electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions provider ChargePoint Services Ltd (CPS), which owns pay-as-you-go EV charging network GeniePoint.

The acquisition brings in about 20,000 GeniePoint network customers and a cloud-based data and control platform to establish a combined public rapid charging network that exceeds 400 stations, Engie said. The transaction is also expected to result in a further fast network surpassing 500 stations by the end of 2019.

“The combination of ENGIE’s renewable energy, hardware technology and installation capability, together with our own significant experience in EV charging network management, infrastructure rollout, and 24/7 customer service provision, will create a major player in electric vehicle fuelling in the UK,” commented Alex Bamberg, managing director of ChargePoint Services.

Engie has provided over 75,000 EV charging stations around the world. In the UK, the company has been hired by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority to install 88 rapid charge points throughout the region.

No longer will the will of the minority have more sway than the majority.

Talking of Politics should Bojo or any other candidate become PM they will be seen by labour as a PM by default... Bojo's popularity currently is high being a Brexiteer he could call a snap general election...while Labour popularity is low...and if labour loses then Corybn will have to step down...Sept/Oct they normally have party conferences...so not sure of enough time before Oct 31...

MM's will find it hard to make money on this basis plus they'll turn down the size on there RSP's because they'll get fed up of being picked up all the time. Thus liquidity dries up and an order in 25/- shares will move a 5 billion pound company.Chicken and egg :)

[nortic 007] 18/6/2019 08:51

I can never understand why people get sucked into buying them first thing, then to see them tank. The problem here is that ever since they dropped below a quid the tick size has changed and it's full of a new type of day trader. Basically these are people who'll be trying to nick a 5 er here and there. This for the MM's becomes very labour intensive which will drive them mad.

Let it happen.

There will be plenty of stops being taken out around here imo.

Dividend danger zone! Fuc@ the dividend. It is obviously unsustainable at this price. Anyone buying at this price thinking it will pay this dividend is stupid.

Just watching the last in the series on Thatcher. Now she did have balls. Shame but this country is now way down the pecking order due to a lack of backbone.

[nortic 007] 17/6/2019 22:26

Yes I agree that the threat has diminished and I believe it's not a factor but the damage some people have done to this and other sectors is scandalous. If this was America they'd all be sued!!MP's eh .)

[pander45] 17/6/2019 22:22

Deserting in droves even!

[pander45] 17/6/2019 22:21

Corbyn has absolutely no chance. Labour supporters are deserving in droves over Brexit vacillation. It's just not going to happen. Nationalisation of this is, consequently, a non-starter. Bargain territory now.

[nortic 007] 17/6/2019 21:53

I often wonder if any MP's actually read a financial paper. I bet Corbyn still thinks Utilities are banging in huge profits and are still trading at multi year highs.I hope they're happy with their meddling.I'm afraid MP's have no business prowess but are allowed to spout on like they have.Shame on those meddling kids!!

I think IMO CNA have actually destroyed their own financial situation by paying this high dividend, I think TW. Have the right approach where they offer an interim and final Divi of which works on a combined Yield of just over 4% and then offer a special Divi with money they can afford to take out the business, but CNA have just destroyed themselves with basically incompetence.Turvart

Well when it was 94p with approx 5.3 BLN market cap it was Ranked 82, so who knows where it is now but it could be 90ish.



Do I really need to answer the Shell comment?


CERTAINLY, AFTER ALL THE RHETORIC



why would shell wish to buy centrice and if so at what price

no, i cannot believe they would even entertain the idea

[turvart] 17/6/2019 20:45

Supermarky,
It’s dropped because of the high divi, if you understand accounts go into CNA’s and study how the EPS has dropped but the share premium has risen, of which put simply is “ Your paying your own dividend”.

[supermarky] 17/6/2019 20:09

What the hell is going on with this stock? Why are management not doing something about the freefall. How long does this go on for? Mr conn has even had a pay rise. Wtf is the point of any dividend if the share price is decimated day after day. Can we please have some good news or will we continue down another 2/3% tomorrow.
