Prologis, a major logistics real estate company, and Dynalogic, a full-service delivery specialist, have installed a 1.2 MWp solar installation at the rooftop of Prologis’ distribution center in Bleiswijk. The new system will help power Dynalogic’s warehouse operations and electric vehicle charging infrastructure. By integrating on-site solar energy, the companies are contributing to national and local energy transition efforts as well as advancing their own sustainability goals. Dynalogic operates under a long-term lease agreement with Prologis for its warehouse.
Sustainable Energy for Warehouse Operations
"This installation allows us to increase our use of renewable energy, reducing emissions while lowering reliance on fossil fuels," says Paul Aelmans, Sr. Manager System & Process Innovation at Dynalogic. "It’s a crucial step in our sustainability journey and helps ease pressure on the grid."
The system consists of 2,142 solar panels and will generate electricity equivalent to the annual consumption of an entire residential area, further enhancing on-site energy resilience. This initiative plays an important role in the company’s broader efforts to optimize energy use and lower carbon emissions. The generated energy is used for the logistics hub in Bleiswijk and the charging infrastructure of Dynalogic’s electric delivery vehicles.
Prologis’ Commitment to Renewable Energy
For Prologis, the project aligns with its broader push to scale renewable energy across its global portfolio. Since 2007, the company has been installing solar panels on warehouse rooftops, generating electricity for customers and local grids.
As companies transition to more sustainable operations, optimizing on-site solar energy has become an increasingly practical solution for businesses looking to secure long-term energy stability and meet sustainability targets. Investing in solar today is not only a response to emerging regulations such as the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), but also a strategic step in future-proofing logistics real estate.
"With grid congestion increasing, leveraging warehouse rooftops for solar power is a smart, scalable solution," says Melchert Duijve, Vice President Energy & Sustainability EU at Prologis. "The energy transition is not just about reducing emissions—it’s about ensuring long-term energy security and resilience for businesses. By integrating solar power into our logistics facilities, we support our customers in meeting their sustainability goals and making our properties more adaptable to future energy needs."
As of December 2024, Prologis has achieved 523 MW of installed solar capacity worldwide, including 145 MWp in the Netherlands. By 2025, the company aims to deploy 1 GW of on-site solar capacity globally, supported by energy storage.
This initiative contributes to the Netherlands’ long-term sustainability strategy, which targets full reliance on renewable energy by 2050. The country leads in solar adoption, boasting the highest installed PV capacity per capita and generating 23 billion kWh of solar energy in 2024.
