CTP completes the largest photovoltaic rooftop project in the Czech Republic
CTP has completed the construction of the largest photovoltaic project in the Czech Republic to date. CTP has installed photovoltaic panels on 115,000 sqm of rooftops in CTPark Bor in the Pilsen region.
This project has been supported by the €200 million that CTP secured in financing from the European Investment Bank (EIB) in 2023 to roll out a large-scale programme of solar panel installations across its European business park portfolio.
“Our long-term goal is to create completely energy-independent industrial parks – where all energy used onsite is created within the park and excess energy is supplied into the local electricity grid to support neighbouring communities,” explains Martin Pirkl, Head of Property Management for the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
