CHAM, Switzerland, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

Meridian Energy will deploy the OCEAN Charge Point Management System for the

management and monetization of their public charging network across the country.

Etrel, a Landis+Gyr (SIX: LAND) company providing integrated e-mobility

solutions, and Meridian Energy, New Zealand's largest electricity generator,

signed an agreement to adopt the Etrel OCEAN Charge Point Management System for

the management and monetization of Meridian's public charging network across

the country.

Etrel provides integrated EV charging solutions that support the deployment of

electric vehicles by focusing primarily on charging technology for powering

electric vehicles with green energy sources. Therefore, the selection of Etrel

was a perfect match for Meridian, which generates electricity entirely from

renewable sources – wind, water and sun.

Meridian's utmost priority is to ensure that its users have a smooth transition

and experience using its EV charging network. OCEAN's white-label app will help

them increase customer intimacy and build brand awareness while providing an

outstanding charging experience. On top of this, OCEAN's extensive integration

capabilities will allow Meridian to connect today's service offering with its

EV charging service, making it easier for its private and business customers to

switch to electric vehicles.

Tim Calder, Emerging Markets and Innovation Lead at Meridian is excited by the

opportunity of working with Etrel to bring this software to the New Zealand

market: "We know driving electric vehicles is not only great for the

environment but also a great experience and we want to make sure that using our

EV charging network is no different. Partnering with Etrel means EV drivers

using our charging network will be well supported and get that great experience

especially across key moments like signing up, finding and using a charger and

making payment".

"We are proud to support Meridian's ambitious EV charging network rollout and

help reach New Zealand's energy transition objectives", said Rok Poteko, Head

of Software Sales at Etrel. "People are at the core of our e-mobility solutions

- from the EV drivers who use our white-label app to our partners who manage

their customers' journey in the back-end system. We will enable Meridian to

provide a seamless EV charging experience."
