GLP Clean Energy – Decarbonising Logistics

Our ambition is to become one of the leading renewable energy developers, investors and operators in Europe.

GLP will develop, own and operate the solar projects, removing the capital cost constraint for customers.

By joining us on this journey, our customers will be able to meet their decarbonisation objectives and secure a long-term supply of clean energy at stable prices. Furthermore, they will have access to other synergic technologies such as EV charging or battery storage.

Our investors will benefit from the future-proofing of our asset base, and by investing in the energy transition and the sustainable real-estate revolution.

Across the world, GLP has 890 Megawatts (MW) of installed renewable energy capacity* which can generate approximately 540 Gigawatt hours (GWh) annually and significantly reduce CO2 emissions.

Our growing rooftop and ground-mounted solar PV portfolio is targeted to reach 2GW capacity by 2024. In addition, GLP is set to create an exciting holistic ecosystem of solutions across the entire renewable energy value chain, including wind and an Electric Vehicle charging network.

In Europe, as of the end of 2023, GLP has about 53 MW of capacity installed across 61 projects but with the ambition of delivering 500 MW in the future. As part of our sustainability and carbon reduction strategy, GLP is working with its customers across their portfolio to help reduce their carbon emissions and to improve the performance of their property assets.

 

 

* Renewable energy capacity includes installed solar and wind capacity directly or indirectly controlled, managed, owned, and hosted and does not include purchased renewable energy for logistics parks and data centres.
