Metro Storage LLC expands it's Green Initiative with rooftop
solar panels.
LAKE
FOREST, Ill., April 25,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Metro Storage LLC, a
leading provider of storage solutions, is proud to announce its
Green Initiative aimed at advancing sustainability in its
operations. The company is investing in cutting-edge rooftop solar
energy panels at select Metro Self Storage locations, reaffirming
its commitment to environmental responsibility and the communities
it serves.
Over the next three to five years, our goal
is to have rooftop solar installations that produce as much
electricity as our portfolio of properties use.
Metro currently has 19 solar projects completed, under
construction, or under agreement. When the current projects are
finalized, Metro estimates the solar installations will generate
7.0 million kWh of clean, renewable energy annually, accounting for
50% of the company's electrical consumption.
"We looked at our stores, which are located in states that have
favorable policies and incentives for solar power installations,"
said Nick Gerou, Chief Investment
Officer of Metro Storage LLC.
Besides its rapidly growing solar energy programs, Metro's Green
Initiative includes retrofitting properties with LED bulbs,
installing motion-activated light systems, reducing water
consumption, and developing new properties utilizing tilt-up
construction.
"Over the next three to five years, our goal is to have rooftop
solar installations that produce as much electricity as our
portfolio of properties use," says Gerou.
