IKEA Taiwan has expanded its use of renewable energy solutions by installing solar panels on the 5,200-square-metre rooftop of our Hsin Chuang Store. The 2,500 individual solar panels have transformed the space into a clean energy generator. The store’s solar panel system is anticipated to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by about 4,400 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually. This installation is the latest in IKEA Taiwan’s efforts to reduce its GHG emissions through the use of solar energy. We have also installed solar power generation systems at four other stores and at the new IKEA fulfilment centre that opened in 2023. To date, IKEA Taiwan has six solar panel installations generating sustainable energy and reducing carbon emissions.

Similarly, the solar panel system installed on the Wellcome Fresh Food Centre rooftop in Hong Kong in 2022, expected to continue to generate over 1 million kWh of renewable energy each year, under CLP Power’s Renewable Energy Feed-in Tariff scheme.
