News fromBloombergthat IKEA has bought a windfarm near Huntly and intends to install 39,000 solar panels on its UK stores to make full use of renewable energy. The flatpack giant already owns windfarms in Denmark, France and Germany. The bad news is that the solar panels are coming from China, which probably neutralises any carbon benefit before the project gets off the ground. And of course, any suplus energy will be sold to the grid and IKEA will claim feed-in tariffs. |
