They are also installing combined heat and power plants. They have already installed a number of ground source heat pumps in their larger stores which is a great way of using waste heat from refrigeration systems and reutilizing heat from the ground and putting it into the store. On the energy efficiency side, they have been doing an awful lot of work for a number of years and since 2007, they dramatically reduced the amount of energy.
