Swedish retail giant IKEA has an ambitious goal: to have all of the stores in its home country run off of renewable energy sources. To that end, the company has announced it’s building its very own wind farm.
Due to be completed in 2012, the Dalarna County, Sweden-based wind farm is expected to provide enough energy to power the equivalent of 17 IKEA stores. Which, according to its website, is the exact number of stores based in Sweden.
Currently the company owns a total of 52 wind turbines, across around nine farms, that help provide about 10 percent of the retailer’s total energy use.
