普洛斯公司在5月10号宣布要在加州南部建立第二个屋顶太阳能项目,发电量约11兆瓦,此项目的第一阶段将要占据五座建筑物250万平方英尺的屋顶面积。
SCE委员会将拥有并且经营这个项目,而此项目的发电系统将直接进入公用发电体系服务于客户,作为该项目的实施者,普洛斯公司将收取相应的租金和屋顶施工管理费。
目前,该公司已经在法国、德国、日本、西班牙、美国等国家的32个建筑上安装或正在安装一些太阳能设施,该设施占据了超过1060万平方英尺的屋顶面积。
普洛斯可再生能源公司从2009年开始接手新业务,经营设施安装,为全球的可再生能源提供各种服务,到目前为止,该公司已经安装了超过4.5亿平方英尺的太阳能光伏装置。
ProLogis announced today a second rooftop solar project in Southern California, totaling 11.1 megawatts (MW). Today's announcement is for the first phase of the master agreement that covers 2.5 million square feet of roof space across five buildings.
SCE will own and operate the system. All generated power will feed directly into the utility's electrical system to serve its customers. As site host of the project, ProLogis will receive roof rental income and construction management fees. Construction is expected to commence this summer.
ProLogis' master agreement with Southern California Edison (SCE), the largest electric utility in California, to provide approximately 100MW of generated power to the utility through its rooftop solar program.
"Our partnership with SCE works well for both parties – we have flat, available roof space and local construction management expertise in place to support the growth of SCE's renewable energy program," said Drew Torbin, vice president of renewable energy for ProLogis. "With approximately 45 million square feet in SCE's service area, this installation is one part of a larger, multi-phase project." This is the second rooftop solar project between the two companies, bringing ProLogis' total partnership with SCE to 13.5 MW of solar energy.
"Our first installation in this large solar power project was a ProLogis building in Fontana, Calif. that now provides two million watts of clean energy to our grid," said SCE President John Fielder. "We are pleased to expand this relationship with a company that shares our vision for converting otherwise unused urban rooftop real estate into solar power stations."
ProLogis now has solar projects installed or under construction on 32 buildings throughout France, Germany, Japan, Spain and the United States. The installations cover more than 10.6 million square feet (984,800 square meters) of roof space and total 24.6 MW.
The ProLogis Renewable Energy group was formed in 2009 to procure new business, manage installations and provide development services for renewable energy projects globally. ProLogis has more than 450 million square feet (42 million square meters) of roof space worldwide available for solar photovoltaic installations.
