Valencia, 2nd December 2024 – GLP, a leading global business builder, owner, developer, and operator of logistics real estate, digital infrastructure, renewable energy, and related technologies, announces that GLP Clean Energy, its renewable energy business in Europe, has completed a new installation of a rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system at G-Park Sagunto in Valencia, in eastern Spain.
GLP’s 51,800 SQM warehouse at G-Park Sagunto features a rooftop solar PV plant of 6,720 solar modules. With 3.7 MWp of power generation capacity, the installation will supply the equivalent of 1,642 Spanish households. The system is projected to generate savings of around 2000 tons of CO2 per year over its life span.
The building was delivered to its tenant, Romar Global Care, the Spanish hygiene, cosmetics and homecare goods manufacturer, in September 2023. GLP Clean Energy signed a Power Purchase Agreement with Romar Global Care later that year. The solar PV plant will not only provide Romar Global Care with direct access to clean energy but will also channel excess power into the local grid, providing additional support to the municipality of Sagunto with a reliable, green, and local electricity supply.
G-Park Sagunto’s strategic location allows for superb transport connections to hubs in Barcelona, Madrid, and Aragon, as well as to the rest of the continent. The park offers excellent connectivity with the Mediterranean Corridor, both for national and international operations, via motorways like the AP-7 to Barcelona or Alicante; the A-23 to Zaragoza and the A-3 to Madrid. G-Park Sagunto lies only a short distance from the ports of Valencia and Sagunto and is also well-connected to the ADIF railway system.
Stefano Fissolo, Senior Director, GLP Clean Energy, said: “Delivering this high-quality, sustainable rooftop solar project represents a significant milestone in GLP’s sustainable growth strategy in Europe and reaffirms its commitment to the energy transition. The integration of an advanced energy solution into our logistics asset at G-Park Sagunto highlights our ability to innovate in ways that benefit both our clients and the surrounding community.
Oscar Heras, Country Director of GLP in Spain, said: “We are proud that our Sagunto project exemplifies how a modern logistic development can seamlessly integrate an innovative clean energy solution into a building. We are excited about the positive environmental and economic opportunities that our sustainable building and this solar project supports both for our customers and for the local communities we serve.”
Pablo Rodríguez-Gimeno, CEO of Romar Global Care, said: “This installation with the GLP Clean Energy team has been exceptional. Their ability to understand our needs and deliver efficient energy solutions will help us to significantly reduce our environmental impact and operational costs.”
