GEODIS and Prologis have activated a 619-kW rooftop solar array energizing the Prologis Park Grande industrial park in the Tepotzotlán region of Mexico
The new solar installation atop Building 3 of the Prologis Park Grande is expected to generate close to 892-MWh of low-carbon electricity per year. The footprint of Park Grande 3 covers nearly 29,000 square meters of space and was built in 2017.
Logistics firm GEODIS opened the warehouse to include 44 docks. The building is located in one of Mexico’s most prominent industrial zones north of Mexico City and along the major Querretaro highway.
"This solar installation is more than just a technological upgrade—it's a reflection of our ongoing commitment to innovation, responsibility and sustainability," said Jessica Himmelreich, Vice President, Head of Sustainability, Occupational Safety and Health, and Dangerous Goods, GEODIS in Americas, in a statement. "By investing in renewable energy at our facilities, we are advancing both our corporate climate goals and those of our customers."
Prologis and GEODIS have worked together on several sustainability projects in North American, including three warehouse solar installations with another five planned for later this year. GEODIS provides logistics and transport for retail, high-tech, pharmaceutical and automotive companies.
The project also supports Prologis' goal to deploy 1 GW of solar, supported by battery storage, across its global real estate portfolio by 2025.
"Low-carbon, reliable energy is a critical resource for our customers," said John Hoekstra, Head of Enterprise Sustainability and Europe and LATAM Energy, Prologis. "As a leader in low-carbon energy generation, we're proud to collaborate with GEODIS to support sustainable logistics operations in Mexico and beyond."
Prologis has contributed to several microgrid projects supporting electric vehicle charging infrastructure in the U.S. These include a partnership with Maersk-owned Performance Team to launch a heavy-duty electric truck charging depot near the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
