Aldi boosts renewable energy in Yorkshire with solar panel rollout

Aldi is investing £7.7 million in its renewable energy programme, with a significant focus on its Yorkshire stores. As part of this investment, solar panels will be installed at several locations, including Todmorden, Selby, Askern, Goldthorpe, and Ecclesfield. The initiative will see 41 stores across the UK, including those in Yorkshire, equipped with advanced 144 kWp solar systems by the end of 2025, with an additional 49 stores set to follow in 2026.

The new installations are expected to generate an average of 100,000 kWh annually per store, helping Aldi increase its use of on-site renewable energy. This move aligns with the supermarket’s strategy to enhance its energy resilience and reduce its carbon footprint. Additionally, new Aldi stores will be fitted with solar systems as part of the company’s ongoing store openings programme, further solidifying its commitment to sustainability.
