The ten-year loan will contribute to accelerating the energy transition, strengthen the security of power supply and boost climate action. It is part of the EIB\u2019s dedicated contribution to REPowerEU, the plan designed to end Europe&#8217;s dependence on fossil-fuel imports. It will also reduce the carbon<\/strong> <strong>footprint of VGP and its clients.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">VGP Renewable Energy N.V. is a wholly owned subsidiary of VGP, a pan-European listed real estate business, specialized in the acquisition, development and management of warehouses and semi-industrial buildings. The company is implementing an ambitious initiative to expand its renewable energy production within its real estate portfolio across 14 EU countries. The focus of this programme is the installation of rooftop solar photovoltaic systems.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The newly installed photovoltaics will generate up to 190 GWh in renewable electricity per year when the programme is rolled out and operational, enough to cover the consumption of 110,000 Europeans.\u00a0A significant part of the electricity will be used in VGP buildings by its tenants, improving the viability of the project. The installation is planned on existing roof areas,\u00a0hence the project will not require additional land. Furthermore, this new business use, will increase the sustainable value of the buildings.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><em>\u201cThere is large untapped potential for renewable energy on the roofs of warehouses and other industrial buildings,\u201d<\/em><strong>\u00a0said EIB Vice-President Thomas \u00d6stros, who is responsible for energy-related operations.\u00a0<\/strong><em>\u201cWith loans like that to <\/em>VGP Renewable Energy N.V. <em>we can help save scarce agricultural land and natural spaces while increasing renewable energy production. More renewables will help Europe to break away from fossil fuels and lower its dependency on energy imports. Ultimately, this will not only be a win for the climate, but also bring down electricity prices, which is in everybody\u2019s interest.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>Jan Van Geet, CEO of VGP<\/strong>, commented<em>: \u201cWe are delighted about the collaboration with the European Investment Bank, which plays a key role in enabling the green and efficient electrification of buildings in Europe as part of the energy transition. This is another important recognition of VGP&#8217;s efforts to enable the transformation to a low carbon society.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>CONTACT DETAILS VGP <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT VGP RENEWABLE ENERGY<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">VGP Renewable Energy N.V. was set up in 2020 by VGP N.V. (&#8220;VGP&#8221;, or \u201cthe Group\u201d), a listed pan-European provider of logistics and semi-industrial real estate. Its purpose is to enable the green energy transition of VGP Group and assist its clients in making their businesses more sustainable in a cost-effective way by the roll-out of photovoltaic installations on the roofs of VGP Parks. It does so by investing and operating PV systems directly as owner, in cooperation with the tenants of the Group\u2019s building portfolio. Ultimately VGP Renewable Energy is not only focussed on using the available roof space on VGP Parks but also on using the most current energy technologies available across the entire spectrum of renewable energy, from production to storage.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">For further information please visit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=kOT34Z7pkAfTLPPcjsr-9BU5vyGikv_xI0uC9WGhMVgTxG3gg_ofXrDrbi985QkaRj2czzsy2uxqlvxcGRktGNdEV7zg5pYuCXHj-JE0N1qcMxZCLz0D3vBwdQP3AgYB-XCMfgTUh1QZ_EO9MA749yT7CTRgD9yOP-evZxaWzd4=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\"><strong><u>https:\/\/vgpparks.eu\/en\/vgp-renewable-energy\/<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT VGP<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">VGP is a pan-European owner, manager and developer of high-quality logistics and semi-industrial properties as well as a provider of renewable energy solutions.
