Duesseldorf, 08 May 2023 – VGP NV (“VGP” or “the Company”), a European owner, operator and developer of high-quality logistics and commercial real estate, announces as part of its presence at the Transport Logistic trade fair in Munich that installation of the largest rooftop photovoltaic system on one single building in Germany has started at the fully leased VGP Park Magdeburg-Sülzetal.

With its 108.000 m² of roof space, the construction phase of this rooftop photovoltaic system already started in March. The biggest installation on the roof of one building is to generate 10.26 MWp .Therefore, the biggest on-roof installation on one building in Germany is about to be launched. The planned completion of the entire area is scheduled for June. By the end of this year, the entire electricity, generated in the whole Park will add up to nearly 30 MWp.

The park’s location close to the city of Magdeburg and its proximity to important state and federal crossings make it extremely attractive.

VGP Park Magdeburg-Sülzetal is striving for certification according to the DGNB Gold Standard.
