IKEA Romania has launched a project to install 1,435 photovoltaic panels on carport structures in the parking area of its Pallady store in eastern Bucharest. The initiative is part of the retailer’s strategy to increase energy efficiency and generate electricity for on-site consumption. The project involves the construction of carport structures over double and single parking spaces. In the double-space areas, 250 panels will be installed to cover 42 parking spots, while the single-space section will accommodate 90 panels over 15 spaces. The investment, which includes permitting, studies, design, construction, and operational accreditation, is valued at approximately EUR 1 million. The installation is expected to be completed within two months.
