Altus Power Completes Solar Project at San Manuel Landing

Altus Power recently announced the completion and activation of a rooftop solar project at San Manuel Landing, a newly-built 1.1 million square foot Class-A industrial logistics center located near the San Bernardino International Airport.

Under long-term agreements, Altus Power leases the roof of the building from the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation and delivers clean electric power directly to Flexport, the global logistics company and tenant of the property. The system will reduce Flexport’s operational profile at the facility by lowering its total energy costs.

“In a time of rising energy prices, this project demonstrates how Altus Power and its solar energy solutions can deliver low-cost electricity to businesses with no requirement for the customer to own or maintain the system,” said Brett Phillips, Director, Investment and Structured Finance, Altus Power. “By working with Trammell Crow Company and the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation, Altus Power delivered a turnkey solution that generates immediate energy savings without Flexport incurring upfront capital investment. Altus Power is committed to expanding our footprint in California’s industrial real estate market to give tenants and real estate owners a smarter, more cost-effective way to power their businesses.”

“Controlling costs across our facility network is critical to an efficient operation, but doing so in a way that aligns with our environmental goals is what truly defines a modern supply chain,” said Cody Moreland, Sr. Director of Fulfillment Ops at Flexport. “At San Manuel Landing, we’re merging efficiency with sustainability. This solar system allows us to lower electricity costs while making tangible progress on our commitment to decarbonize our footprint across our global network. It’s a clear example of how we’re building a more resilient, green supply chain for our merchants.”
