Prologis, a global leader in logistics real estate, has announced a groundbreaking Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with ENGIE Zielona Energia. This landmark deal is set to significantly power Prologis's logistics and production parks across Poland with dedicated wind energy, marking a pivotal step towards more sustainable and cost-stable operations for businesses seeking modern warehouse and office space.
Prologis Leads the Way in Green Logistics with ENGIE Partnership
The agreement, effective January 2026, will see Prologis draw renewable energy from ENGIE's wind farm, covering a substantial portion of its facilities' energy needs in Poland. This move solidifies Prologis's position as a frontrunner in sustainable logistics real estate, offering tangible environmental benefits and operational efficiencies to its tenants.
Unpacking the Landmark PPA: Wind Energy for Polish Logistics
Under the PPA, ENGIE will deliver approximately 335 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of clean energy over five years, sourced from a dedicated renewable asset. This initial phase will meet approximately 67% of Prologis's logistics park consumption in Poland at a fixed price, providing a hedge against fluctuating energy markets. The total five-year contract with ENGIE Zielona Energia is set to deliver 500 GWh, effectively covering 100% of the energy demand for Prologis's logistics and production parks, with energy beyond the PPA volume also coming with Guarantees of Origin.
Benefits for Businesses: Stability and Sustainability
"The PPA ensures greater cost stability and protection from energy market fluctuations for companies operating in Prologis parks," stated Marta Glinka, Real Estate & Customer Experience Lead, Director at Prologis. This predictable pricing model is a significant advantage for businesses budgeting their operational expenses in the long term.
Paweł Sapek, SVP and Regional Head for Central Europe at Prologis, emphasized that "the purchase of electricity from dedicated renewable sources under a PPA is proof of our long-term commitment to conducting business in a sustainable manner." For companies with ambitious ESG goals, leasing space from Prologis means aligning with a partner actively reducing its carbon footprint.
Prologis: A Pioneer in Sustainable Real Estate in Poland
Prologis is proud to be the first logistics real estate developer in Poland to announce a physical PPA for renewable energy supplies. This is not their first foray into green initiatives; since 2022, all energy used in Prologis buildings in Poland has come with renewable origin certificates. Furthermore, all new Prologis buildings in Poland are designed to achieve at least a BREEAM Excellent certification, with their latest investment for Schaeffler aiming for an impressive BREEAM Outstanding level, showcasing a commitment to cutting-edge sustainable construction.
ENGIE Zielona Energia: Powering the Green Transition
ENGIE Zielona Energia actively manages a portfolio of wind and photovoltaic farms with a total capacity exceeding 360 MW, offering comprehensive decarbonization solutions, including PPAs. Mateusz Madejski, Member of the Management Board at ENGIE Zielona Energia, highlighted that "the partnership with a leader in the logistics real estate market supports the energy transformation and raises sustainability standards in Poland." Wojciech Milewski, Senior Originator at ENGIE, added that "long-term PPA agreements form the foundation of an energy strategy for many industries, ensuring a decarbonization effect and predictable energy prices."
This strategic alliance between Prologis and ENGIE sets a new benchmark for sustainable logistics in Poland, offering businesses not just premium space but also a greener, more stable energy future.
