Finland has the world’s most energy-saving supermarket – half of the energy it consumes is solar in origin
Savings are also being achieved by levelling out power consumption peaksUnder VTT’s leadership, Finland has the world's most energy-efficient supermarket, which consumes only 40% of the energy of a normal grocery store. A new solution is saving the retailer around EUR 180,000 in energy costs. The technology is now ready for use on commercial premises in general.”On a sunny day, half of all electricity consumed by the low-energy supermarket is coming from the solar panels installed on the roof,” says Project Manager and solar power plant designer Klaus Känsälä of VTT Technical Research
