Logistics & Industrial

A logistics operator or industrial property investor with an estate of multiple distribution locations may be far more concerned about which properties in the estate should be prioritised first, rather than whether any single roof can be solar powered and how to sequence that investment relative to SBTi or Net Zero targets. This work includes:

• Multi-site Feasibility evaluation across the entire logistics estate.
• Scheduling is prioritised relative to each site's capex cycle and lease profile.
• A staged roll-out schedule linked explicitly to SBTi or Net Zero milestones to ensure investment timing is justifiable on commercial and reporting grounds.

In the case where one distribution centre or a new development is being considered on its own, and the assessment is aimed at determining the merits of individual projects, the results of feasibility work should be capable of forming a business case within the investment committee. This would generally include:

• A high level of technical due diligence for this individual building and roof
• Battery storage assessment for when the site load profile requires it
• Business case aimed at secure investment committee approval, not simply a technical report

When PV systems are in operation at many logistics locations-frequently delivered over years, with different inverter brands, and by various original specialists continual monitoring must bring that broken-up view into one joined picture. This includes:

• Equipment performance tracking standardised at all sites in the estate regardless of original equipment or installer
• Centralised contractor management for O&M providers across the portfolio
• One person responsible for the portfolio instead of one report format and one contractor contact for every site

Large logistics tenants pondering a corporate PPA require impartial guidance focused on their lease situation and procurement governance, not a generic pitch for a PPA. This includes:

• Analysis of corporate PPA (CPPA), sleeved and virtual PPA configurations for specific occupier contexts
• Analysis of how each option may impact their lease position
• Advice based on their internal procurement governance policies, rather than a generic recommendation that isn't actually built around your specific situation.
