Session 501: ProLogis -End User Smart City Projects: Proligis and Renewable
Energy
As one of the world’s largest owners of rooftops, Prologis has a huge potential to leverage its
real estate portfolio for hosting solar energy systems. Prologis Renewable Energy partners
with utilities or investors seeking to provide renewable energy to their customers. By renting
roof space and allowing these entities to host solar panels on our facilities, Prologis is helping
provide renewable energy to the communities in which it operates. This approach is much
more efficient and has a much greater environmental benefit than using the solar panels to
power its buildings. The lengthy payback required for solar and our relatively short typical
lease term prevent Prologis from partnering with the customers inside its facilities to use solar
panels to power the building. By sending energy directly to the grid, Prologis can host larger
systems and enter into long-term agreements with utilities and investors.
