AfirCharge
Project development for energy, land use and infrastructure.
AfirCharge is the physical-development side of Afir. We develop solutions for energy, land use and industrial projects: we clarify the prerequisites, bring the parties to the same table and take a project from an early idea to a viable whole.
Project development
Industrial and infrastructure development projects that need many parties to be aligned.
For whom
Municipalities, energy companies, businesses and landowners
Read more
Large projects only move forward when every party understands what is being done and why. We help build the full picture of a project and carry it forward between the parties.
We act as the project developer: we clarify the prerequisites, keep in touch with stakeholders and make sure the work progresses as agreed.
In practice
- Baseline and constraints review
- Stakeholder collaboration and communication
- Aligning the parties
- Project coordination and follow-up
Land acquisition and land use
Landowner engagement, land-use rights and land-use preparation.
For whom
Landowners, municipalities and project developers
Read more
Many projects are decided by whether a suitable area and agreement can be found. We handle landowner engagement openly and clearly: we explain what cooperation would mean in practice and negotiate the agreements and land-use rights.
We also clarify the planning and zoning prerequisites of the area together with municipalities.
In practice
- Landowner engagement and contract negotiations
- Securing land-use rights
- Planning and zoning prerequisites
- Cooperation with municipalities and authorities
Energy systems
Batteries, load management and grid-independent energy solutions.
For whom
Energy and infrastructure companies, ports and industrial operators
Read more
We design energy systems in which storage and smart load management flatten peaks in demand. At best, no new supply cables need to be built at all.
We have also developed off-grid energy solutions in which a battery bank, solar power and a backup generator form a reliable whole.
In practice
- Battery systems and energy storage
- Load management and area energy efficiency
- Off-grid energy solutions
- System design
Network
We work together with municipalities, businesses, energy companies, landowners and private individuals
Few projects are solved by one party alone. We bring together those with whom things move forward.

Industrial project development
In our clients' industrial projects we have taken part from an early concept and feasibility studies towards an executable whole: from siting, stakeholder engagement and permitting preparation to a scheduled path forward.
- Role
- Client project: development, feasibility and stakeholder engagement

Off-grid energy system development
In an international cooperation project in Africa, we developed a containerised off-grid energy system in which a battery bank, solar power and a backup generator form a reliable, grid-independent whole. The system was designed to power a refrigerated container and safeguard the cold chain for medicines in areas without an electricity grid.

Land acquisition and land-use preparation
In client projects we have participated in land acquisition across several initiatives. The work covers landowner engagement, contract negotiations and securing land-use rights, as well as clarifying planning and zoning prerequisites together with municipalities.

Passenger terminal development working group
In a project carried out with a major port operator, we planned the area's energy use and its optimisation with battery systems. Smart energy storage and load management flatten peak demand, removing the need to build new supply cables to the area.

Business growth and internationalisation
We have been involved in developing and scaling a client's business and taking it to international markets: from business model development to the structures of growth and opening new markets.
- Role
- Client project: business development, scaling and internationalisation

Founding an import and manufacturing company
We were involved in developing and founding a company specialised in international import and manufacturing: from building supply chains and manufacturing partnerships to commercial operations.
- Role
- Client project: company formation, supply chains and manufacturing partnerships
We present projects with the client's permission, so not every project is named. We are happy to share more detailed references in conversation.
