UK electric vehicle (EV) charge point operator Believ has extended its partnership with clean energy company UrbanChain.
The agreement sees UrbanChain continue to power the operators’ national expansion with traceable, locally matched renewable electricity.
The three-year extension will seek to build upon an agreement first signed in 2025 and support Believ’s mission of ‘Cleaner Air for All’ by ensuring every charge is backed by renewable energy from certified generators, with the option to match local generation to local sites where available.
Reportedly, UrbanChain price matches on a half-hourly basis, providing the price stability and traceability.
Believ, backed by £300 million of investment from Liberty Global and Zouk Capital (manager of the HM Treasury-backed Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund (CIIF)), currently operates more than 2,400 live charge points nationwide.
Wherever possible, these will be supplied with locally generated clean energy through UrbanChain private markets.
UrbanChain chief growth officer, Charlie Parry, said: “This is infrastructure-level system change. UrbanChain already powers Believ’s network, and this extension commits that model for the next three years as EV charging is rolled out at scale across the UK.
“Local authorities across the country are deploying EV charging at pace, and behind every one is an energy system that either entrenches wholesale volatility or builds something structurally different.
“We’ve built the latter with Believ, bringing local renewable generation to local consumers, through choice, not obligation, and giving long‑term certainty to serious infrastructure rollouts.
“This is what powering communities, councils, and the decarbonisation of transport at scale actually looks like, through resilient, repeatable systems, designed to support the decarbonisation of transport at national scale.”
