Together with the solar energy company @KiesZon we have put 10,782 photovoltaic modules into operation on the roof of a distribution centre in the Bijsterhuizen industrial estate in Wijchen in the Netherlands. The logistics property was acquired for the special real estate alternative investment fund (AIF) “Real I.S. SMART Fund” in 2019 and is leased to DHL on a long-term basis.
‘The Netherlands is a core market for Real I.S., and state-of-the-art logistics buildings are an important element of our international portfolio. The completion of this new solar energy project in the Netherlands is consistent with our international ESG roadmap. Energy transition and the aspiration of climate neutrality connected with it is an issue in all the countries in which we operate. The new solar roof is another step towards a climate neutral portfolio‘, said Melanie Grüneke, Head of Country, Real I.S. Netherlands.
