Sainsbury’s To Establish Home Energy Centres For Sales Of Energy Efficient Products
UK retailer Sainsbury’s is set to become the first supermarket chain to offer its shoppers the chance to buy renewable energy products.
Sainsbury’s in a joint effort with energy company EDF Energy says it plans to open three new concessions known as Home Energy Centres (HEC’s) at its retail outlets in Kidderminster, Leicester and Camberley.
The Home Energy Centres will behave as showrooms, and provide shoppers with information and advice, as well as a number of energy saving and renewable energy products such as solar panels, insulation and air source heat pumps.
Customers visiting an HEC will also have the ability to sign up for a new electricity or has deal, and staff members will help customers to apply for government subsidies to fund making energy efficient improvements to their homes.
The retailer says the centres have been established to act as a complement to its national sales line, where consumers nationally can order products from the retailer, and have them delivered and installed by an EDF Energy professional.
Sainsbury’s commercial manager Adam Zeiderman said: “There are lots of people who want to invest in renewable energy products but they don’t know how or where to start. We use some of these products in many of our stores, and now we’re making it easier for people to use them in their own homes.”
