Amazon submits planning application for EV charging substation at Croydon depot

Amazon has filed a planning application with Sutton Council for site alterations and a new substation at its Peterwood Way facility in Croydon to support the installation of electric vehicle charging points. The application, reference DM2026/00511, was validated this week and forms part of upgrades to the depot site.

Why it matters: The substation filing signals Amazon's infrastructure investment to electrify its Croydon delivery fleet, creating potential procurement opportunities for electrical contractors, substation suppliers and charge point operators as the scheme moves through planning.
