Metro Self Storage Partners with Wunder to Deploy Solar Across Northeast Portfolio

Metro Self Storage engaged Wunder, a category-defining provider of commercial energy solutions, to deploy solar across their growing portfolio of self-storage facilities. The first six solar projects to come online, totaling more than 710 kW, deliver Metro substantial economic value and tangible progress against their sustainability goals, all without requiring any out-of-pocket expense. These initial systems — located in Illinois and New Jersey — are expected to generate 1,040,000 kWh of power in their first year alone — offsetting 1,606,371 pounds of CO2 emissions.

Now powered by clean, renewable energy, these six self-storage facilities — spanning more than 380,000 square feet — feature climate-controlled units, state-of-the-art security, elevator access, drive-up loading bays, and a friendly, professional staff.

"Deploying solar across our portfolio has been an incredible step forward for our business," said Nick Gerou, Chief Investment Officer at Metro. "Not only are we unlocking new revenue, but we're also powering our facilities with clean energy and achieving our sustainability objectives. The team at Wunder has been an outstanding partner, guiding us seamlessly through the process and ensuring success every step of the way."

Dave Riess, CEO of Wunder, said, “We’re proud to partner with Metro. Their team has been fantastic, and we’re excited to continue expanding on this relationship and bring more projects online. Solar unlocks a lot of value for self-storage firms like Metro, and at Wunder we’ve developed a winning formula for seamlessly deploying these types of solutions at any scale."
