“38 of the Dedeman stores in the country now have operational photovoltaic plants. The electricity they generate goes solely to the stores and the plants will remain in use for at least 25 years. Total investment stood at more than EUR6 million. We are not ruling out future investments in standalone projects, either,” Dedeman officials said.
The decline in solar power costs has made many retailers use their rooftops for a new investment, green power generation.
“We made the investment thinking about the future. Besides financial issues, we also took into account the benefits generating green power has on the environment,” said Dragos Paval, Dedeman chairman.
