Reducing Operational Costs While Supporting Sustainability
As ALDI expanded its footprint across the United States, the company faced the challenge of managing rising energy costs while maintaining its commitment to sustainability. With multiple distribution centers operating in different regions, ALDI needed a solution that could deliver reliable, cost-effective power and reduce the environmental impact of its operations. The company sought a partner who could implement solar projects at scale, maximize available incentives, and ensure that each facility could meet a significant portion of its electricity needs with clean, renewable energy.

PowerFlex partnered with ALDI to design and implement rooftop solar systems across four key distribution centers in California, Connecticut, and Ohio, totaling 3.9 megawatts (MW) of installed capacity. By customizing each installation to the specific needs and energy profiles of the sites, PowerFlex ensured that the systems would deliver maximum performance and reliability. Leveraging regional incentive programs, as well as net metering, ALDI was able to significantly offset upfront costs and enhance the financial returns of each project. The combined systems now generate 5.5 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean electricity annually, helping ALDI reduce operational expenses and support its long-term sustainability goals.
