Volta Delivers 100 Million Elctric Miles to Drivers


SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Volta Inc. (“Volta”), an industry leader in commerce-centric electric vehicle (“EV”) charging networks, announced today that Volta’s network of charging stations has delivered 100 million electric miles to EV drivers across the country. The announcement marks a significant milestone in the expansion and increasing popularization of electric mobility.

Founded on the premise that the electrification of mobility is likely to be a transformational shift, Volta builds and operates a nationwide EV charging network that has among the best utilization per station in the EV charging industry for the United States. Centered around capturing new spending habits expected to result from the shift to electric vehicles, Volta seeks to transform the fueling industry by building charging stations in locations where drivers already spend their time and money, including grocery stores, pharmacies and other retail locations.

Leonardo DiCaprio, the Academy Award winning actor, invested in Volta when it was a small private company. As one of Volta’s early investors, he noted the importance of this milestone: “The world must move beyond a carbon-based economy in order to save the planet from irreversible climate change. Today’s announcement shows Volta has been building the infrastructure that will be an instrumental component of a broad transition to electric vehicles.” Mr. DiCaprio added: “I’ve been pleased to work with Volta in expanding their charging network across the country, showing drivers that charging is accessible, convenient and reliable.”

Volta’s unique charging stations – which feature large, eye-catching digital displays – provide a premium content viewing experience for both the drivers who plug their vehicles into the stations and the customers who shop at nearby retailers. Volta’s media-enabled charging stations offer brands a dynamic content experience platform, including activation and engagement opportunities. Brands running campaigns on Volta’s stations report experiencing positive results in brand awareness and increased purchase intent.

“We are at a tipping point for mass EV adoption,” said Scott Mercer, Founder and CEO of Volta. “Car companies are committing to an all-electric future and are releasing EV models across multiple price points. The federal government is making electric charging a priority in infrastructure planning. Leonardo DiCaprio’s support and Volta’s accelerated expansion in new states across the country is a testament to society’s readiness to adopt new consumer behaviors on their way toward the electrification of mobility.”

Since its founding in 2010, Volta has been on a mission to drive the world forward by building convenient, reliable charging infrastructure centered around the places drivers live, work, shop and play. Delivering 100 million miles to EV drivers is an important landmark in Volta’s history, underscoring Volta’s commitment to its mission and to a more sustainable future.

Data collected to determine environmental benefits from consumer use of Volta's charging stations were tabulated in accordance with US Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) methodology using the EPA's published greenhouse gas equivalencies calculator. Miles per kWh calculation assumes a weighted average, using the US Department of Energy’s published miles per kWh rating per electric vehicle (EV) model, multiplied against each model's market share among EVs based on IHS-Markit’s quarterly vehicle-in-operation report.

JUMBO:Αυξημένο μέρισμα κατά 25% για το 2021

 JUMBO:Αυξημένο μέρισμα κατά 25% για το 2021



Ο Όμιλος Jumbo συνεχίζει να καταβάλει κάθε προσπάθεια να ισορροπήσει σε ένα περιβάλλον όπου, τα προβλήματα στην εφοδιαστική αλυσίδα, το κόστος πρώτων υλών, ενέργειας καθώς και το κόστος μεταφοράς αντί να βελτιώνονται, επιμένουν.

Υπό τις συγκεκριμένες συνθήκες, μοιάζει να επιβεβαιώνεται η αρχική εκτίμηση της διοίκησης ότι το 2021 θα είναι μία ακόμη χαμένη χρονιά, σε σύγκριση με τα πρότυπα των JUMBO για ισορροπημένη ανάπτυξη τόσο στις πωλήσεις όσο και στην κερδοφορία του Ομίλου.

Είναι επίσης εμφανές ότι οι επιβραδυντικοί παράγοντες, δεν αναμένεται να βελτιωθούν κατά τους πρώτους μήνες του 2022, αντιθέτως πιθανότερη είναι η περαιτέρω χειροτέρευσή τους κάνοντας και το 2022 ένα έτος το οποίο μπορεί να χαρακτηρισθεί και αυτό σαν μία ακόμα χαμένη χρονιά.

Στόχος της διοίκησης των Jumbo σε αυτή τη συγκυρία είναι μέσω της κερδοφορίας και της ισχυρής χρηματοοικονομικής της θέσης :

1. να διαφυλάξει το μοντέλο της Jumbo απέναντι στον καταναλωτή όσον αφορά την σχέση τιμής με το προσφερόμενο προϊόν επιλέγοντας μέχρι και την άρνηση επαναγορών σε πολλές κατηγορίες προϊόντων όταν κρίνει ότι η σχέση αυτή αποβαίνει σε βάρος του καταναλωτή και υπέρ μίας συντεχνίας ή ενός προμηθευτή.

2. να επιβραβεύσει τους μετόχους – συνεταίρους της για την στήριξη και εμπιστοσύνη στην Εταιρεία και την Διοίκησή της προκαταβάλοντας, με την μορφή έκτακτης χρηματικής διανομής, το σύνολο του μερίσματος που αντιστοιχεί για τη χρήση του 2021 και μάλιστα αυξημένο σε σχέση με το 2020, μένοντας πιστή στην δέσμευσή της για χρηματική διανομή ακόμη και σε χαμένες χρονιές .

Υπενθυμίζεται ότι για το 2021, ο Όμιλος προχώρησε τον Ιούλιο σε έκτακτη χρηματική διανομή μικτού ποσού 0,47 ευρώ ανά μετοχή ως προκαταβολή του μερίσματος για τη χρήση του 2021.

Καθώς διανύουμε το τελευταίο τρίμηνο του έτους, η διοίκηση θα προχωρήσει σε επιπλέον χρηματική διανομή μικτού ποσού 0,30 ευρώ ανά μετοχή σε δύο ισόποσες δόσεις των 0,15 ευρώ ανά μετοχή στις 26 Νοεμβρίου και στις 17 Δεκεμβρίου αντίστοιχα.

Κατά συνέπεια το συνολικό μικτό ποσό που θα έχει καταβληθεί στους μετόχους έναντι των κερδών της χρήσης 2021, ανέρχεται σε μικτό ποσό 0,77 ευρώ ανά μετοχή, προσαυξημένο κατά 25% σε σχέση με το 2020, το οποίο ανήλθε σε ποσό 0,615 ευρώ ανά μετοχή.

JUMBO: Increased dividend by 25% for 2021




The Jumbo Group continues its effort to balance even though the supply chain problems, the raw materials cost, energy and transportation costs persist, instead of improving.Under these circumstances, the initial assessment of the management that 2021 will be another lost year compared to the standards of Jumbo for balanced growth in sales as well as in profitability of the Group is being confirmed.
It is also obvious that the adverse conditions are not expected to be improved in the first months of 2022, on the contrary, it is more likely to worsen, resulting in 2022 to be maybe considered as another lost year.
The management of Jumbo aims through the profitability and the strong financial position of the Group, to:

1. preserve Jumbo’s philosophy towards the consumer regarding the price - product relation, choosing even not to repurchase certain product categories when its considered that this relation is against the consumers’ interest but in favor of a supplier or of a trade union.

2. to reward its shareholders - partners for their support and their trust in the Company and its management, by proceeding to the advance payment of the total dividend for the year 2021, which will be also increased compared to 2020, in the form of extraordinary cash distribution, staying loyal to its commitment to distribute dividends even in lost years.
It is noted that for 2021, the Group proceeded in July to an extraordinary cash distribution of 0,47 EUR per share (gross) as an advance payment of the dividend for the year 2021.
As we go through the last quarter of the year, the management will proceed with an additional cash distribution amount of 0,30 EUR per share (gross) in two equal installments of 0,15 EUR per share in November 26 and December 17 respectively.
As a result, the total gross amount that will have been paid to the shareholders as a dividend for the year 2021 amounts to 0,77 EUR per share (gross) increased by +25% compared to 2020, which stood at 0,615 EUR per share.

TERNA ENERGY & HERON offer the first long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) in Greece

 

TERNA ENERGY & HERON offer the first long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) in Greece



TERNA ENERGY and HERON, members of GEK TERNA Group, reunite their forces, innovate and are the first to offer the long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) in the Greek market.

The two companies offer final consumers immediate access to green energy, providing the first MWhs in the market through “private” PPAs, thus opening the market of cheap electricity to both the industry and large commercial enterprises.

In this context, the first four (4) contracts have already been signed with well-known industrial and commercial consumers, concerning disposal of the corresponding RES energy quantities from October 1st, 2021. At the same time, negotiations are underway for the conclusion of similar contracts with other important groups of companies.

The offered PPAs are addressed to large commercial and industrial consumers and address their needs for reduction of energy supply cost while achieving Sustainable Development goals. They are in line with the objectives regarding the increase of the competitiveness of Greek enterprises, the further penetration of RES in the country energy mix as well as the support of the development of new RES projects through bilateral commercial contracts with final consumers.

PPAs are yet another product of the strategic cooperation of two leading companies in the energy sector, after the pioneering and innovative EN.A program. TERNA ENERGY’s projects that are under construction in combination with the successful and growing market share of HERON in the supply of end consumers, allow for a leading position in the “green PPAs” market.
