About this site
Cross Hands is a 10-bay ultra-rapid EV charging hub at Maes Yr Eithin Retail Park in Carmarthenshire, South Wales. Strategically positioned directly off the A48, alongside Aldi, Lidl, a Costa drive-thru, and a parade of food outlets, the site offers drivers a convenient and well-served stopover.
As principal developer, Moreco originated the scheme, secured the land and, in collaboration with strategic partners, progressed planning and grid and delivered the hub through to energisation. The site is operated by E.ON, and remains part of Moreco's portfolio.

How Moreco delivered it
Moreco acted as the Principal Developer, identifying the site as underutilised retail land with strong dwell-time indicators from the existing Aldi, Lidl and Costa tenants. The team worked through a planning appeal, arranged the DNO grid connection, coordinated the ICP and civils contractors, and led the full M&E programme — delivering a strategically important solution for E.ON Energy and closing a critical network gap.
From concept to charge, the scheme was delivered in 12 months — with the on-site build programme completed in 12 weeks. The site was energised and handed to E.ON under a long-term lease. The asset remains part of Moreco's portfolio.
