Ikea Group, the world’s biggest home-furnishings retailer, will build a wind park in Sweden to meet the electricity needs of its 17 stores in the Nordic country as part of an effort to cut carbon dioxide emissions.
The park will have nine turbines and be located in the central province of Dalarna, Ikea said today in a statement. O2 Vind AB, a Stockholm-based wind developer, will oversee construction and production is scheduled to start early 2012.
