ProLogis, a distribution facilities company, is leasing roof space in Portland, Ore., to Portland General Electric, to create the largest solar power project in the Northwest.

The project will feature photovoltaic systems on three ProLogis distribution centers in the Portland area

"We are thrilled to combine efforts with PGE to begin our second large-scale, rooftop solar installation in the United States," said Jack Rizzo, ProLogis´ managing director of global construction. "ProLogis is committed to implementing enough renewable energy systems to obtain a combined generation capacity of over 25 million kilowatt hours per year by 2010. This project will certainly help us achieve that goal."
