Ikea’s parent company Ingka Group says it will sell clean energy to homeowners in Sweden through a new service via the Ikea network. The group plans to sell electricity to households from wind and solar plants under a subscription programme.
Consumers will be able to track their electricity usage via a special application. In addition, homeowners who install solar panels purchased from Ikea will also track their power production and sell the surplus.
Jan Gardberg, New Retail business manager at Ingka Group, states: “We believe the future of energy is renewable, and we want to make electricity from sustainable sources more accessible and affordable for all”, said
Ikea currently retails PV panels across 11 markets. In addition, the company has set a target of becoming climate positive by 2030.
