Central to this strategy is the adoption of renewable energy solutions across its stores. Recognising the importance of aligning environmental responsibility with cost efficiency, Lidl partnered with <\/span>Greenvolt Next Ireland (formerly Enerpower) in 2017<\/span><\/b> to develop and execute an innovative solar powered retail transformation programme.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
