The Dino store network has achieved another major milestone in developing its own sources of electricity. Solar panels are now installed and operating on the rooftops of 3 thousand stores and 7 distribution centers, thereby strengthening its position among the companies that are the most active in developing their own renewable energy sources.
The Dino Group has summarized the investments it has made to date in renewable energy sources (RES). Since 2019 the company earmarked roughly PLN 300 million for that purpose, whereby it has put in place distributed infrastructure consisting of more than 3 thousand micro power plants. In 2025 the installations belonging to Dino generated 101.5 GWh of electricity.
On average, a three-person family in Poland consumes approximately 2,000-2,500 kWh of electricity per annum. The electricity generated by Dino in 2025 could power more than 40 thousand such households for a full year. That is more or less the equivalent of the population in cities of the size of Kalisz, Legnica and Wałbrzych.
Dino Polska is one of the fastest-growing store networks in Poland. At the same time, thanks to its investments in RES, it is one of the leaders when it comes to tapping into solar power from its own sources in the Polish retail sector, and more broadly, also among companies for which the generation of electricity is not their core business.
With its annual generation surpassing 100 GWh the Dino Group is capable of meeting approximately 30% of its electricity demand. On sunny days, it is capable of meeting as much as 100% of its demand. Building on the company’s subsequent investments in 2026, the generation of solar power should be even greater.
“Solar panels are a standard part of the equipment installed in Dino’s newly-opened stores. We treat them as an element of our responsible, long-term approach to business development enabling us to enhance our energy efficiency while curtailing our environmental impact”, says Michał Krauze, Management Board Member of “DINO POLSKA” S.A.
Currently, the total capacity of all of Dino’s photovoltaic installations is roughly 125 MW. By having its own installations Dino Polska is able to curtail carbon dioxide emissions by about 75 thousand tons per annum in comparison to the generation of energy using fuel-powered installations. This level is comparable to the annual absorption of CO₂ by a forest with an area of 15-20 thousand hectares.
