Enefit opens electric vehicle charging stations at FORUM Shopping Centre in Gliwice

As of 28 February 2025, electric vehicle drivers can access new Enefit charging stations at the FORUM Shopping Centre in Gliwice. This expansion is part of Enefit's broader initiative to enhance electromobility infrastructure in Poland. Enefit, a subsidiary of the Estonian energy group Eesti Energia, is one of the largest energy producers in the Baltic States and continues to develop its network of charging stations.

The newly launched charging stations at FORUM Shopping Centre include three units with different capacities: 120 kW, 47 kW, and 22 kW. These options cater to both fast-charging users and those making longer stops. Drivers can make payments via the Enefit Volt app or through a payment terminal, ensuring accessibility and ease of use. The charging stations are powered by energy certified as renewable.

According to Piotr Drożdżyk, Head of E-Mobility Solutions at Enefit, integrating charging stations with commercial facilities is a practical approach to supporting electromobility. By placing charging stations at shopping centres, users can conveniently charge their vehicles while shopping or attending meetings. Enefit has been expanding its public charging infrastructure since last year, with stations already operational in Bielsko-Biała and Zabrze. The Gliwice location marks another step in the company's development strategy.

Shopping centre owners and managers also benefit from investments in charging infrastructure. Providing charging stations attracts new customers and aligns with sustainability initiatives. Patrycja Duczmal, Director of CH FORUM, noted that the installation of charging stations supports the centre’s ongoing commitment to environmentally friendly solutions.

Enefit currently operates 595 public charging stations across Estonia, Latvia, and Poland. The company aims to acquire locations for over 5,000 charging units by 2028, with half of them planned for installation in Poland.
