A Waterford-based energy solutions provider has secured a new €1 million contract with Lidl.
Enerpower will install solar panels on 10 Irish stores over the next 12 months.
Last year the Waterford company installed the largest single rooftop array in the country at Lidl's Newbridge regional distribution centre.
Owen Power, Managing Director of Enerpower said: “Lidl Ireland is a remarkable partner of ours, making significant strides towards more sustainable operations across their retail store and distribution centre network."
“We are delighted to be working with Lidl again to grow and enhance their solar energy capabilities, reducing their carbon footprint, generating significant cost savings and contributing positively to Ireland’s sustainability agenda.”
He says they've been in business in Waterford for 15 years and work with an array of other retailers and local businesses such as Flahavans and Ardkeen Quality Food Stores and Grantstown Nurseries.
And after a rocky start to the year, Owen says business is returning.
