Logos has partnered with Solar Bay to develop Australia鈥檚 largest rooftop solar system on its intermodal logistics facility in Sydney鈥檚 southwest.
Under the partnership with Solar Bay, owner and operator of energy infrastructure across Australia and New Zealand, more than 120,000 solar panels will be installed at the A$4bn (鈧�2.8bn) Moorebank Logistics Park (MLP).
The park is being developed by a consortium, including AustralianSuper, AXA IM Alts, Ivanhoe Cambridge and TCorp, which acquired the site in a A$1.67bn deal last year.
On behalf of the consortium, Logos said: 鈥淥ur partnership with Solar Bay will allow the Logos consortium to utilise the latest technologies so that we can produce, store, manage, and use energy more efficiently on-site at MLP and run all warehouse operations on 100% renewable energy.鈥�
Darren Searle, head of Logos Australia and New Zealand, said: 鈥淭he implementation of this green infrastructure at MLP will accelerate our achievement of green scale and enable our operations to achieve net-zero emissions.鈥�
Searle said the Logos consortium would develop and fund the construction of the embedded network.
James Doyle, investment director at Solar Bay, said: 鈥淢LP is a prime example of the convergence between property and energy infrastructure that we鈥檙e seeing across Australia and New Zealand.鈥�
Doyle said with over 800,000sqm of roof space at the precinct the site had the capacity for up to 130MW of rooftop solar, capable of generating 183GWh of electricity per annum.
When complete, approximately 44% of the total site electrical requirement will be provided via the on-site generation, with the remaining power required coming from an off-site wind farm.
