MEXICO CITY, MEXICO (Fidencio Casillas, Energy Analytics Institute, 15.May.2025, Words: 297) — GEODIS, in collaboration with Prologis, activated a 619-kilowatt (kWDC) rooftop solar installation at Prologis Park Grande, Building 3 in Tepotzotlán, in the state of Mexico.
The system is expected to generate approximately 892 megawatt-hours of low-carbon energy each year— a meaningful step in GEODIS’ global effort to support more sustainable logistics.
Located in 1 of Mexico’s most prominent industrial zones, the rooftop solar project is a strategic step toward reducing GEODIS’ greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, increasing low-carbon energy and low-carbon energy use, and enhancing energy resilience at the site level, GEODIS said on 15 May 2025 in an official statement
This initiative supports GEODIS’ ambitious climate goals, which were validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), that include a 42% reduction in GHG emissions from GEODIS’ fleets and buildings (Scope 1+2) and 25% reduction in the carbon intensity of subcontracted transport regarding container shipping, road and rail operations (Scope 3) compared to 2022.
A solar installation directly supports GEODIS’ targets by reducing Scope 2 emissions (emissions from purchased electricity), assisting with sustainable building certifications and decreasing operational GHG emissions in a scalable way, the company said.
“This solar installation is more than just a technological upgrade—it’s a reflection of our ongoing commitment to innovation, responsibility and sustainability,” GEODIS in Americas vice president, head of sustainability, occupational safety and health, and dangerous goods Jessica Himmelreich said in the statement. “By investing in renewable energy at our facilities, we are advancing both our corporate climate goals and those of our customers.”
The project also supports Prologis’ goal to deploy 1 gigawatt (GW) of solar, supported by battery storage, across its global real estate portfolio by 2025.
