DETERMINE THE CORRECT RANGE OF FACILITIES Existing site infrastructure Stakeholder desires Cost to build and operate Site location and accessibility

WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD? Technology Development Usage

MANAGING OPERATIONAL COSTS Micro-renewables Ancillary / complementary services Community groups and the third sector

THE COMMERCIAL CASE FOR EV CHARGING / HYDROGEN REFUELLING FACILITIES Emerging market, number of significant commercial risks Existing zero cost infrastructure distorts ability for private sector to compete Some capital subsidy is invariably required
