Kempower to Provide DC Fast Charging Infrastructure to DP World’s Port Operations in Canada
The first phase includes 46 Kempower satellites delivering 4.4 megawatts across three Canadian terminals.
EVSE manufacturer Kempower has signed a framework agreement with global logistics firm DP World to supply EV charging infrastructure and related services across all DP World terminals in Canada.
What Happened
Under the new agreement, Kempower’s charging solutions will support the electrification of DP World’s service vehicles and container-handling equipment, providing a foundation for future electrification projects. The deal also includes service-level commitments to support the charging infrastructure. In the first phase, Kempower will supply 46 satellites providing a total of 4.4 megawatts of power at DP World’s terminals in Vancouver, Fraser Surrey, and Prince Rupert. DP World currently operates five port terminals in Canada, with a new Contrecoeur container terminal at the Port of Montreal under construction and expected to be commissioned by 2030.
Why It Matters
This partnership standardizes charging infrastructure across DP World’s Canadian operations, a move that facilitates the transition of heavy-duty port equipment to electric power. DP World CEO in Canada Doug Smith stated that the agreement provides a scalable and reliable charging platform, allowing the company to electrify more equipment over time. The collaboration follows a 2024 partnership between the two companies at the London Gateway logistics hub, where Kempower technology already supports electric terminal operations.
The Bottom Line
Kempower is deploying 46 charging satellites totaling 4.4 MW in three Canadian ports as part of a broader framework agreement to support DP World’s terminal electrification efforts across Canada.
