Prologis Leads Industrial REITs In Solar Power Deployment
Prologis is the clear leader in solar energy implementation amongst industrial REITs with 200 MW installed and a 400 MW objective for 2025. Commercial-scale solar power shows up to have reached rough expense parity with grid power; the business instance for solar is boosting. Market infiltration is really low for both new building and construction and also retrofits; a 15-fold rise for Prologis shows up reasonable. LED illumination and also LEED accreditation fostering might offer helpful insight.
