Overview
- Aldi, which announced the expansion Friday, will add rooftop solar to 62 UK stores during 2026.
- The move builds on panels already installed at more than 470 locations, taking the total to over 500 stores.
- The retailer has earmarked £8.4 million to equip 100 stores in 2025–26 within a wider 2026 store investment topping £300 million.
- Each installation can provide up to about 30% of a store’s annual electricity, which the company says strengthens energy resilience.
- Near-term work is set for stores in Stratford-upon-Avon, Maghull, Northampton and Wrexham.
