The retailer will use the panels to install solar power systems ranging from 900 kilowatts to 5 megawatts on rooftops and parking structures on supermarket locations in mainland France and the islands of Mayotte and La Reunion.
“This is the first step of a major new renewable energy initiative for Casino, which includes a pipeline of projects to be developed over the next several months,” said Casino chief real estate and development officer Jacques Ehrmann.
“SunPower’s proven high-efficiency technology generates the most power in space constrained areas. This will allow us to maximize the amount of clean, renewable solar power that will be produced at our facilities, and reinforces our commitment to sustainable development.”
With its European headquarters in Geneva, SunPower systems have been installed on facilities operated by the Bon Preu Esclat supermarket chain in Spain, and on rooftops for US-based retailers such as Target, Wal-Mart Stores, Macy’s and Lowe’s.
