A Heritage Icon Meets Green Certification

The Battersea Power Station Retail Mall, part of London’s renowned Grade II* listed redevelopment, has been awarded GreenRE Gold certification in the “Existing Non‑Residential” category - marking a milestone as GreenRE’s first international project to achieve such status. The award was officially presented at a ceremony held on 13 December 2023.

This recognition reflects the project’s rigorous adherence to ESG design and operational standards, showcasing how historic urban assets can be reimagined with sustainability at their core.

Record-Breaking Achievements & Cultural Pull

• Awarded World Gold in the Heritage category at the 2024 FIABCI World Prix d’Excellence Awards, distinguishing it on the global stage. 

• Named one of National Geographic’s Top 20 “Best Cultural Spots” of 2024. 

• Impressive visitor metrics: welcomed 11.2 million visitors in 2023. 

Sustainable Regeneration with Scale & Design

• Adaptive Reuse Mastery: The development preserves iconic elements—including the turbine halls, brick façade, and chimneys—using over 1.75 million original-style bricks to maintain heritage aesthetics. 

• Mixed-Use Ecosystem: Spanning 42 acres, the site includes over 100 shops and leisure venues, 254 residential apartments, 565,000 sq ft of office space, a distinctive “Electric Boulevard”, and Electric Underground Station connectivity. 

• Sustainability in Action: Since January 2020, the main construction phases have been Net Zero Carbon in Scope 1 and 2 emissions. Reuse of existing structural material is estimated to have saved the equivalent of 36,000 tonnes CO₂e. 

• Environmental Impact: The development supports biodiversity with peregrine falcon fledging and includes over 18 acres of public open space, alongside 10,000 cycle parking bays and 904 EV charging spots across the estate (29% of total parking). 

What EVCC™ Pedas RSA Can Learn

1. GreenRE Certification as Strategic Signal

   Just as Battersea leveraged GreenRE Gold to signal sustainability leadership, EVCC™ Pedas RSA aims for Platinum Rated GreenRE, positioning it strongly for ESG-aligned capital.

   
   

2. Heritage-scale Regeneration Principles, Applied to Roadside

   Battersea shows how preservation and transformation can unlock value. EVCC Pedas RSA can reimagine highway infrastructure with permanence, not just functionality.

   
   

3. Mixed-use Scale Drives Resilience

   Battersea’s blend of retail, living, working, and leisure underpins long-term vibrancy and cashflows. EVCC Pedas RSA can emulate this with EV infrastructure, lifestyle retail, and community amenities.

   
   

4. Operational Sustainability and ESG Performance

   Net zero operations, embodied carbon savings, EV readiness—Battersea unites these with placemaking. EVCC Pedas RSA must replicate this rigor at roadside scale.

Bottom Line

The Battersea Power Station Retail Mall exemplifies how heritage, sustainability, and investment-grade execution can converge to create landmark infrastructure.

EVCC™ Pedas RSA, with its aspirations for Platinum GreenRE certification, EV-first expressway alignment, and scalable development model, can draw directly from Battersea’s playbook—cementing itself as Malaysia’s flagship ESG roadside investment.
