Fastned secures 15‑year solar deal to power Belgian fast‑charging network
Renewable electricity from Prologis rooftops will supply Fastned’s high‑power chargers.
Fastned has signed a 15‑year corporate power purchase agreement (cPPA) with Prologis to supply locally generated solar energy to its fast‑charging network in Belgium. The deal marks the charging operator’s first long‑term renewable energy agreement in the country, and its first cPPA outside the Netherlands.
Under the agreement, Fastned will purchase 90% of the energy produced by rooftop solar installations on three Prologis logistics buildings: Boom DC2 near Antwerp, and Tongeren DC1 and DC3 in Limburg. The remaining 10% will be used by tenants within those facilities.
Over the 15‑year period, the company estimates the solar power generated will enable the equivalent of roughly 500 million sustainable kilometres across its Belgian network.
Matthias Pletinckx, Country Director for Fastned Belgium, said the agreement reinforces Fastned’s strategy of pairing high‑power charging with locally sourced green electricity. “By converting the roofs of our logistics facilities into a source of clean energy for our stations, we are strengthening our Belgian network with local renewable energy and making fast charging even more sustainable for our customers.”
Prologis will develop and own the solar systems, which will have a combined capacity of about 8.1 MWp. Construction is underway, with commissioning expected in the second half of 2026. Scholt Energy will serve as the designated supplier, managing delivery of the contracted clean electricity.
