Mainstream Energy Solutions - Brochure

Wind energy is a key part of IKEA Group’s sustainability strategy to generate as much renewable energy as it consumes by 2020. The IKEA Group has plans to invest £1.5bn in wind energy and solar programmes up to 2015. Mainstream has built two wind farms for IKEA; one in Ireland and another in Canada. In both cases IKEA entered into an agreement to buy the projects once Mainstream had completed construction and the asset was performing as expected. Mainstream also supported IKEA in negotiating a contract with an electricity supply company in Ireland which allows it to supply its stores from the wind farm.
