The investment exceeds EUR4 million and the solar power plants will be used for at least 25 years, the company said.

Dedeman plans to later extend the solar panel project to all its stores countrywide.

The first 28 locations will have an installed power of over 7 Mwp and will cover approximately 30% of the stores’ power consumption.

Dedeman signed contracts with E.ON Energie Romania SA and Simtel TEAM SRL for the project and the first stage of implementation is set to take 12 months.

Dedeman has a network of 51 stores, four logistical centers and its own car fleet. It has over 11,000 employees.
