Pension provider PFA, in partnership with energy company, TOWII Renewables, and together with ADP A / A, is to begin the development of the largest roof-based photovoltaic system in Danish history at the Taulov Dry Port logistics centre in Frederica.

The first stage of the solar cell plant is a total of 45,000 m2 and will supply green electricity corresponding to the annual electricity consumption in 1,300 detached houses. When the project is fully phased in, the photovoltaic system will spread over a roof area of 200,000 m2.

“The project in Taulov will set a new standard for photovoltaic systems on roofs in Denmark. With a size equivalent to 30 football pitches, the finished photovoltaic system will be on an unprecedented scale and a good example of how PFA translates its green goals into concrete action,” PFA property director, Michael Bruhn, said.

When the project is fully developed, the photovoltaic system will spread over a roof area of approx. 200,000 m2 and could produce green electricity corresponding to the annual electricity consumption of 4,200 detached houses.

Last year, PFA announced the goal of reducing CO2 emissions from listed stocks, real estate and credit bonds by 29 per cent by 2024.

Taulov Dry Port is located in Fredericia and is one of Denmark's largest warehousing and logistics centres. With close access to the Port of Fredericia, the railway and the airport in Billund, Taulov Dry Port is an important hub for several larger companies in Denmark, such as Bestseller, Salling Group and Elgiganten.
