Oana Nechita, Executive Director of Brick Romania, said Brick Constanta will be the first unit of the retailer’s national store chain to benefit from an investment of EUR60,000 to implement the solar panel system.
Subsequently, solar panels will be installed in each Brick store in Mangalia, Ovidiu, Giurgiu and Satu Mare. Solar panels will also be installed in the stores to be opened by the company in coming years in the cities of Oradea, Ploiesti and Bucharest.
At first, installing a green energy system is expected to cover nearly 40% of the energy need and in the second phase of the project, this percentage of green energy generation is expected to double.
As part of its green energy transition strategy, Brick Romania also plans to change its current car fleet with electric vehicles.

In 2017, the retailer opened a unit in Mangalia, in 2019, it opened a unit in Giurgiu, in the summer of 2021, it opened the Ovidiu regional center and in March 2022, it inaugurated Brick Satu Mare.
