Drax takes control of Aldi's UK EV charging network

Drax has assumed control of the EV charging network operated across Aldi's UK stores, according to DirectorsTalk Interviews. The move positions the power generation company as the operator of charging infrastructure at one of Britain's largest grocery chains. No financial terms or site numbers were disclosed in the announcement.

Why it matters: The deal signals consolidation in retail charging as established energy firms acquire operational control of supermarket networks. For CPOs and installers, it may reshape procurement routes and maintenance contracts at a major grocery estate.
