As one of Ireland’s leading grocery wholesale and retail operators, with some of the category’s most recognisable brands, BWG needed an energy partner with the expertise and financing capabilities to deliver bespoke energy efficient lighting solutions at scale.

The Challenge

With a broad geographical spread and variance in store sizes, layouts and ages, BWG needed site specific solutions, with a single solution price tag. The success of the project depended upon finding one solution that could be adapted to multiple stores, while guaranteeing significant energy cost savings.

The Solutions

After an initial pilot project, the partnership coordinated a 30-store lighting retrofit with project financing. Traditional systems were swapped out for long-lasting LED lighting, which requires less maintenance and uses up to 70% less energy than traditional incandescents. With no need for up-front capital investment, the solution proved popular with BWG franchisees, with hundreds of stores taking advantage of the programme since its inception.
