Sunrock appointed by Nuveen Real Estate to install photovoltaic systems on seven logistics assets in Germany

Following the successful collaboration in the Netherlands, Sunrock and Nuveen are also working together in Germany as part of a portfolio approach. In line with Nuveen’s international ESG plans, this aims to equip a large proportion of Nuveen’s properties in Germany with photovoltaic systems. A solar roof system project for Nuveen in France is also planned.

Sunrock, the leading European developer of photovoltaic systems for large-area roofs, has been appointed by Nuveen Real Estate to develop solar roof installations on seven logistics assets in Germany. 

The buildings will be equipped with PV systems this year, with a total output of 14.9 MWp. Three of these buildings are in Bremen (totalling 3.3 MWp), one in Neuruppin (3.1 MWp), one in Kamp-Lintfort (3.4 MWp), one in Wunstorf (1.3 MWp) and one in Magdeburg (3.8 MWp). These seven projects in Germany correspond to the annual energy requirements of around 8.000 households and a saving of approximately five tons CO2 per year.

This appointment follows a similar mandate for six assets in the Netherlands, in Waddinxveen, Oosterhout, Ridderkerk, Oirschot, Apeldoorn and Berkel en Rodenrijs with the potential to also start work on the first project development in Valence, France, soon. 

Tim Hennes, Senior Director at Nuveen Real Estate, comments: “As part of our ongoing sustainability program and efforts to provide added value to our tenants and clients alike, we have been reviewing the viability of installing photovoltaic systems across our logistics portfolio across Europe. To date we have equipped 41 assets across seven different countries, totalling a peak performance of 65,300 kWp. We look forward to continue building this out and thank Sunrock for their part in supporting this goal.”
Georg Brenninkmeijer, Managing Director at Sunrock Germany, explains: “We are proud to continue our partnership with Nuveen in Germany. By installing our PV systems in the Netherlands and now also in Germany and France, we are supporting Nuveen’s net-zero emissions initiatives and thus pursuing a sustainable approach for the real estate portfolio.”
