en.Wedoany.com Reported - Danish toy manufacturer LEGO Group has started construction on a 116 MW solar park in Billund, Denmark, which is expected to become the company's largest solar project to date. The project will have a grid-connected capacity of 80 MW and is scheduled to commence commercial operations by the end of 2027.

The park covers an area of 100 hectares, of which 65 hectares will be used for installing solar panels, while the remaining 35 hectares will be developed into natural habitats, wetlands, and open landscapes. According to LEGO Group, the project is expected to meet the total electricity demand of its Billund headquarters.

This solar park is part of LEGO Group's goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050. The company is expanding its renewable energy capacity through a combination of on-site generation, power purchase agreements (PPAs), and renewable energy certificates. The Billund solar park is expected to increase the company's renewable energy capacity by 204% compared to 2025 levels.

Annette Stube, Chief Sustainability Officer at LEGO Group, stated that the Billund solar park is an integral part of the company's global renewable energy expansion and greenhouse gas reduction targets. The park's design focuses on supporting local biodiversity and providing recreational space for the community. The public will have access to the surrounding natural areas via a network of walking paths and boardwalks. An existing transformer tower on the site will be restored and converted into a small museum.

Outside Denmark, LEGO Group has expanded its on-site solar capacity across its manufacturing network, including in Kladno, Czech Republic, and Nyíregyháza, Hungary, with current capacity exceeding 17 MW peak (MWp). The company is installing a 28 MW peak (MWp) system at its factory in Chesterfield, Virginia, USA, and a rooftop solar array at its factory in Vietnam. In Jiaxing, China, LEGO has installed 20,000 rooftop panels, generating approximately 6 GWh of electricity annually.
