DOMINO’S SOLAR POWER SURGE

All Domino’s stores across Australia will benefit from new solar power systems and energy controllers.

The Domino’s solar power strategy is aiming to reduce operational impact on the environment, while reducing energy costs, in partnership with Construction, Supply & Service.

Domino’s Australia and New Zealand chief executive Nick Knight said the business initially started the strategy with only one store – Domino’s Aspley, Queensland, in 2017 – which has seen a 34 per cent reduction in energy usage, and a 48 per cent saving in electricity costs.

According to Knight, Domino’s already has 70 stores with energy demand controllers installed, with an additional seven stores in the works. The controllers de-energise non-essential equipment during peak power usage.

“These stores have seen energy reductions of up to 22 per cent and electricity savings of up to 27 per cent in the past 12 months alone,” Knight said.
