Aldi is reportedly set to begin limiting the number of lights it keeps turned on across its supermarkets in a bid to cut energy bills and help towards net zero efforts.

Part of the cost-saving measures will see the supermarket introduce more energy-efficient LED lighting into stores, with a spokesperson telling The Telegraph that such a move will “reduce Aldi’s energy consumption by around 10 per cent”.

They added: “Through measures like this we’re able to make our stores even more sustainable and maintain our position as the UK’s lowest-priced supermarket.”

Aldi also said the new measures would help keep prices lower for customers in an environment where food inflation is at a 45-year high.

Aldi is often shown the be one of the UK’s cheapest supermarkets, with a recent survey by consumer champion Which? naming it the UK’s cheapest supermarket in February and reporting that shoppers could save nearly £22 on a basket of items at the budget supermarket compared to the most expensive stores.

The news follows similar measures taken by John Lewis in order to avoid a potential £18 million overspend on utilities.
