Asda to build first wind turbine
Asda is to build its first UK wind turbine at its Falkirk distribution centre to generate three quarters of the energy required for the depot.
The retailer has been granted planning
permission by Falkirk Council to construct the turbine. The project
is part of Asda's aim to reduce energy requirements for its stores
and DCs by 20% by 2012. After powering the depot, the electricity
generated will transfer to the National Grid to reduce dependence on
fossil fuels. Asda has identified a number of other potential sites
for turbines and is considering building one at its Grangemouth
depot. As well as tackling climate change, Asda said turbines will
help reduce energy costs at its shops and centres and savings can be
passed on to customers.
