Netto powers stores with the sun – 215 photovoltaic installations from Hymon Powered by Kajima in the latest project

The record investment in RES strengthens the energy independence of the retail chain and supports the transformation of the Polish retail sector.

Energy transformation is no longer a distant vision

This is the present of responsible business. The year 2024 was another key stage in which the net was consistently implementing the strategy for energy independence and sustainable development. To this end, it entrusted Hymon Powered by Kajima, an experienced leader in the RES industry, to the implementation of one of the largest photovoltaic projects in the Polish retail sector so far.

As part of the last stage of this strategic cooperation, modern photovoltaic installations, each with a capacity of 50 kWp, were installed on the roofs of 215 net stores throughout Poland. In total, this gives an impressive 10.75 MW of pure solar energy. It is a continuation of the long-term partnership, in which Hymon Powered by Kajima has completed a total of 284 photovoltaic installations with a total power of 14.2 MWp for the net.

Solar energy for business and climate: measurable benefits

The decision to invest in such a significant investment in renewable energy sources was a natural step for the net, which consistently implements the sustainable development policy and actively responds to contemporary climate challenges. The project has been designed with three key objectives in mind: a significant reduction in the carbon footprint, increasing energy independence and generating long-term financial savings.

This implementation not only significantly reduces the consumption of electricity from the conventional network and reduces the operating costs of stores, but also has a real, positive impact on the natural environment. Each single 50 kWp installation allows you to reduce CO2 emissions by about 27 tons per year. On the scale of the entire new project (215 installations), this means over 5,800 tons of less harmful carbon dioxide that ends up in the atmosphere - every year. To illustrate this scale:

· Annual CO2 emission reduction of more than 5,800 tonnes is the equivalent of carbon dioxide absorbed by over 540 hectares of mature forest.

· The clean energy produced would allow about 2,100 households to be supplied annually.

· This saving also corresponds to the emissions generated by approximately 6,500 passenger flights on the Warsaw-London route.

These numbers translate not only into measurable ecological benefits, but also enhance the positive image of the net brand in the eyes of more and more ecologically aware consumers and business partners.

"The investment in photovoltaic installations allows to largely cover the demand for energy in the months of high sunlight. Thus, we are able to reduce energy consumption from non-renewable sources, and thus - reduce CO2 emissions. dynamic situation on the energy market, the possibility of producing electricity from its own, renewable sources generates a positive impact on the operational budgets of our facilities "- emphasizes Stanisław Tyszka, Energy Manager of Netto Polska.

From vision to comprehensive implementation: Hymon Powered by Kajima expertise

Each of the 215 installations has been comprehensively designed, implemented and connected to the network by Hymon Powered by Kajima experts. The assembly took place on the roofs of commercial facilities, maintaining the highest safety standards and minimizing the impact on the day-to-day operation of stores. All photovoltaic systems are equipped with:

· Advanced fire protection systems and lightning protection systems.

· Permanent work monitoring systems, enabling optimization of efficiency and predictive maintenance.

· Long-term warranty on components and workmanship.

· Comprehensive service and remote diagnostics.

The applied, first-class technological solutions ensure uninterrupted and stable operation of the installation in various weather conditions, and the net gains full control over the energy efficiency of each of the modernized facilities.

"The project for the net is a unique undertaking, both in terms of scale and technological advancement. With each installation, we used individually selected solutions, guaranteeing not only maximum efficiency, but above all uncompromising safety, reliability and long-term stability This includes integrated fire protection systems, advanced remote monitoring and full lightning protection systems. Our aim was to create a uniform, highly scalable installation model that will work in various locations and will effectively support the customer in achieving his energy and environmental goals by many years "- emphasizes Grzegorz Rutkowski, President of the Management Board of Hymon Powered by Kajima.

One of the largest RES projects in the Polish retail sector

The impressive scale of the project places the implementation for the net at the forefront of the largest photovoltaic projects in the Polish retail sector. Thanks to the partnership approach, transparent communication and extensive experience of both parties, the investment runs smoothly, in stages covering subsequent locations throughout the country.

Netto, as a company deeply aware of its role in the energy transformation process, treats photovoltaic investment as an integral part of a broader environmental and social responsibility strategy (ESG).

"In Netto, we consistently focus on sustainable development, which is why we reach for solutions that support us in this. One of the key is photovoltaic panels. Thanks to their use, we significantly reduce our carbon footprint, using clean energy from renewable sources. They are to lead us to an ambitious goal of achieving zero-emission by 2050 "- emphasizes Patrycja Kamińska, PR Manager of Netto Polska. The project directly supports the implementation of ESG objectives, and the precise data generated by photovoltaic installations enable transparent reporting of the impact of the retail network on the natural environment.

Towards a green future driven by the sun

The project carried out by Hymon Powered by Kajima for the Netto network is an exemplary example of synergies, in which responsible business effectively combines the pursuit of operational efficiency with proactive climate protection activities. The use of photovoltaic technology on such a large scale clearly proves that renewable energy can successfully support operations of large retail chains, realistically increasing their energy independence and competitiveness on the market.

Thanks to this strategic cooperation, the Sun today supplies hundreds of net stores throughout Poland - with a tangible benefit for the environment, conscious customers and the business itself.
