German supermarkets (food retail) are now consuming less and less electricity. This is according to the study "Energy management in retail compact: Update on key energy indicators 2021" by the research and consulting institute EHI Retail Institute. This is due to better refrigeration technology and the use of LED lighting.
Electricity consumption per square meter of retail space in this area fell from 318 to 314 kWh, resulting in a reduction of 1.3 percent. In recent years, electricity consumption here has fallen by almost 5 percent overall.
In the non-food areas, the figures need to be looked at in particular due to the changes in opening hours and the different regulations in the individual federal states as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. The full study will be available in the EHI Shop from January 2022; EHI members will receive it free of charge.
