Lidl opens first net zero store in the Netherlands

German supermarket chain Lidl has opened its first net zero emissions store.

The shop has been built in the Dutch city of Woerden and is supplied with a solar system from BayWa RE.

It is the first time the retailer has officially said one of its locations will not generate any emissions from its operations - the solar system is able to produce 100% of the store’s energy demand.

The supermarket also features a carport with a fast-charging point for electric vehicles (EVs).
