STAVANGER, NORWAY — Long-term shareholder Brødrene Jensen has acquired 100 percent of the shares in Easee, a major European smart charging infrastructure developer. The buyout transaction was executed with financing provided by Norwegian investment firm AWC. Pending formal regulatory clearance from the relevant antitrust authorities, AWC is structured to transition into the majority owner of the enterprise.
The transition establishes a unified ownership structure intended to optimize Easee’s capital allocation and accelerate its product development pipeline across core European networks and emerging international markets.
Capital Baseline for Smart Charging Expansion
Easee has secured a prominent position within the European electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) market, surpassing one million hardware installations across residential, corporate, and commercial real estate properties. Moving forward, the company’s long-term business model centers on expanding beyond baseline hardware distribution and building out its footprint in connected grid solutions, cloud-managed smart charging, and software-driven energy management services.
Despite the ownership transition, corporate leadership confirmed that Easee will maintain its independent corporate structure, continue operating under its established brand identity, and adhere to its current multi-year strategic roadmap.
“Completing this transaction marks an important milestone and reflects the progress the business has made,” stated Anthony Fernandez, CEO of Easee. “It gives us the platform to make bolder moves, accelerate our growth and build a truly global position in smart charging and energy. Our new owners believe in what we have built, and we look forward to writing the next chapter together.“
Strategic Institutional Support
For Brødrene Jensen—a privately held Norwegian investment firm focused on real estate, venture capital, and growth-stage enterprises—the acquisition deepens a long-term position. The firm has backed Easee since 2019 and maintained continuous representation on the company’s board of directors throughout its scaling phases.
Partnering on the transaction is AWC, an investment firm wholly owned by the Norwegian family-backed group Awilhelmsen. Known for supplying patient, long-term capital to market-leading businesses, AWC intends to anchor Easee’s operational stability as the wider grid integration market matures.
“Easee has over one million installed chargers across Europe, a strong technology platform and a clear position in a market we believe will become increasingly important,” noted Øystein Sikora Ingstad, Investment Director at AWC. “We look forward to supporting the next phase of Easee’s development.“
