Designed in partnership with the Irish Green Building Council, the supermarket will generate as much energy as it consumes annually.
Lidl will open the country’s first Net Zero Energy supermarket this Thursday in Maynooth.
Designed in partnership with the Irish Green Building Council, the supermarket will generate as much energy as it consumes annually.
The building is powered by a 575-kilowatt solar panel system covering its roof and car park - an area equivalent to 13 tennis courts - making Lidl Ireland’s largest commercial solar energy generator.
Sustainability was central to the construction, which used concrete made from 50% recycled materials, glulam timber beams, and low-carbon wall and roof panels.
The design will save enough energy to power more than 40 Irish homes every year.
The site also includes a pollinator-friendly community garden, a living wall, and roof plant boxes watered through a rainwater harvesting system.
Customers will find six electric vehicle charging points, 12 e-bike and e-scooter chargers, and improved cycling facilities.
