Here are the latest developments on Bunnings solar:
Bunnings has announced that it reached 100% renewable electricity for its Australia and New Zealand store network, supported by on-site rooftop solar at many sites and off-site PPAs with large-scale renewables. This milestone aligns with its goal of net-zero Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030.[1][2]
The on-site solar rollout reached 163 stores with rooftop PV supplying about 30% of each store’s electricity needs, while remaining electricity is sourced via renewable PPAs, including solar farms and wind/hydro projects.[2]
Beyond powering stores, Bunnings is expanding its energy offerings for customers, including a solar and battery subscription service called Zelora, formed with Intellihub, enabling residential rooftop solar and storage through a monthly plan.[4][5]
The company is continuing to invest in energy efficiency and recycling programs across its network, complementing the renewable electricity strategy.[1]
Industry coverage notes that Bunnings’ move into home energy services (subscription solar/battery, and related software/app support) signals a broader shift in the Australian home energy market led by large retailers.[5][6]
Illustration: A simplified view of Bunnings’ energy approach is to run stores with a mix of on-site solar (163 sites, ~30% of store usage) and off-site PPAs, then offer customers accessible solar and storage options via Zelora.[2][4]
