IKEA Breezes进入美国可再生市场与风电场购买
宜家已在伊利诺伊州购买了98兆瓦(MW)风电场,其最大的单一绿色能源投资迄今为止,由于该公司在十年结束时继续推动能源独立。
霍普斯顿风电场,在芝加哥以南南部110英里,设定为2015年上半年的全面运作,并标志着公司的第一批风力投资美国。
Once complete, it is expected to produce up to 380 GWh of electricity each year, equivalent to 165 percent of the total electricity consumed by Ikea's 38 U.S. stores, five distribution centres, two services centers and one factory — and 18 percent of the electricity used by the group worldwide.
风电场是宜家集团的最新中的最新型清洁能源投资计划,去年从可再生来源产生了1,425亿元的权力,以满足其能源需求的37%。
该公司现在拥有206个国家的风力涡轮机,包括加拿大,包括加拿大,宜家是最大的零售风能投资者,以及瑞典,u.k.,爱尔兰,丹麦和德国。
宜家集团还在九个国家的建筑物上安装了550,000个太阳能电池板,包括宜家的90%的美国地点,共有165,000个太阳能电池板在20个州提供38 MW安装的容量。并且,自2010年以来,宜家通过宜家商店和仓库的能源效率努力节省了近5500万美元。
"We are committed to renewable energy and to running our business in a way that minimizes our carbon emissions, not only because of the environmental impact, but also because it makes good financial sense," said Rob Olson, chief financial officer of Ikea U.S. "We invest in our own renewable energy sources so that we can control our exposure to fluctuating electricity costs and continue providing great value to our customers."
