Domino's sees bright future in renewable energy strategy roll-out
Its Aspley store is now relying on solar power.
Domino’s has partnered with Construction, Supply & Service (CSS) to launch a renewable energy strategy for its stores across Australia.
The strategy, which includes energy demand controllers and renewable solar power systems, is said to have been introduced in a bid to reduce operational impacts on the environment and electricity costs.
The pizza chain’s Aspley store serves as the template for the rollout, with results showing 34% reduction in energy usage and 48% saving in electricity costs since implementation in 2017.
“We are looking to implement this strategy in more stores across our network, with Domino’s Ballina, Noarlunga and Kelso already operating with solar power systems and energy demand controllers,” Domino’s ANZ CEO Nick Knight said.
“We currently have 70 stores with energy demand controllers installed – which de-energise non-essential electrical equipment during peak power usage – and an additional seven stores already in the works,” he added, stressing that the stores have seen energy reductions of up to 22% and electricity savings of up to 27% in the past 12 months alone.
