Aldi will install solar panels at a further 62 stores across the UK in 2026, continuing the expansion of its solar rollout.
This builds on existing progress, with solar panels already installed at over 470 stores across its UK estate.
In this latest phase, Aldi is investing £8.4 million to install solar panels at 100 stores across 2025 and 2026.
Each installation can provide up to 30% of a store’s annual energy requirements, helping Aldi generate more of its electricity on site and strengthen energy resilience across its estate.
The UK’s fourth largest supermarket is aiming to roll out solar panels to stores in Stratford-upon-Avon, Maghull, Northampton and Wrexham in the near future.
Jonathan Neale, managing director of national real estate at Aldi UK, said: “We’ve made significant progress over the past year, and we are advancing the next phase of our solar rollout across even more stores in 2026.
“The programme has expanded to cover even more sites than originally planned, and through ongoing investment in our estate, we’re making our operations more resilient while ensuring we continue to deliver great value for customers in a more sustainable way.”
As part of its ongoing commitment to the UK, Aldi announced plans to invest over £300 million in upgrading and extending its UK stores in 2026, The investment will support a wide-ranging programme of improvements, including store extensions and enhancements.
