San Francisco, U.S. – February 2026 – Prologis has surpassed 1 gigawatt (GW) of installed solar generation capacity supported by battery storage across its global portfolio, marking a major milestone in distributed clean energy deployment.
The Prologis 1 gigawatt solar and battery storage achievement represents enough capacity to power approximately 172,000 average U.S. homes, positioning the logistics real estate giant as a growing force in grid resilience and on-site renewable generation.
Rising Demand, Strained Grids
Across global markets, electricity demand is accelerating while aging infrastructure faces mounting pressure. In the first half of 2025 alone, widespread blackouts affected millions of people in regions including Texas, Sri Lanka, Chile, Spain and the U.S. Northeast — triggered by storms, infrastructure failures and unexpected disruptions.
Against this backdrop, Prologis is leveraging its 1.3 billion square feet of industrial roof space worldwide to generate power closer to where it is consumed, helping ease grid congestion and reduce transmission losses.
Turning Logistics Real Estate into Energy Hubs
To meet surging demand, renewable energy and storage capacity are scaling rapidly worldwide:
- Texas added 10 GW of solar energy and storage in eight months
- China installed 198 GW of solar and 46 GW of wind capacity in the first five months of 2025
- Globally, 649 GW of new solar capacity is expected in 2026
- Energy storage capacity is projected to reach two terawatts by 2035
Prologis’ model focuses on distributed rooftop solar installations across logistics facilities near ports, urban centers and major business districts. This strategy complements large-scale utility generation while strengthening local grid stability.
For example:
- At Prologis Park Grande in Mexico, a rooftop system generates up to 892 MWh annually, supporting more sustainable operations for global logistics provider GEODIS.
- In the United Kingdom, rooftop solar systems across three logistics facilities for a top-10 Prologis customer were delivered in six months, generating 452 MWh annually while reducing carbon emissions.
Expanding Community Solar Access
Beyond tenant operations, Prologis is integrating industrial solar into community solar programs that allow households and small businesses to subscribe to clean energy — often at reduced rates.
In July 2025, the company launched one of Illinois’ largest community solar initiatives, consisting of 45 rooftop projects totaling 82 MW upon completion. Later in the year, it introduced its first Maryland community solar project: a 1.8 MW rooftop system in Hanover that powers a logistics facility while supplying renewable energy to low- and moderate-income residents in the surrounding community.
By connecting warehouse rooftops to local grids, Prologis is helping broaden access to affordable clean energy while strengthening regional power systems.
A Milestone Beyond Scale
Reaching 1 GW of solar capacity is more than a symbolic figure. It demonstrates Prologis’ ability to deploy distributed energy infrastructure rapidly and at scale across international markets.
The Prologis 1 gigawatt solar and battery storage milestone underscores a larger strategy: repurposing logistics real estate as energy-producing assets capable of supporting customer operations, stabilizing local grids and advancing clean energy adoption.
As electricity demand continues to grow globally, distributed solar and storage solutions are expected to play an increasingly central role in building more resilient, flexible power systems.
