The Lego Group has kicked off construction of a 116MW solar park in Billund, Denmark, marking the toy giant’s biggest solar development project to date.
The facility holds an 80MW grid connection capacity and is scheduled to enter commercial operation in late 2027. Spanning 100 hectares in total, only 65 hectares will host solar panels; the remaining 35 hectares will be preserved as natural habitats, wetlands and open green spaces to protect local biodiversity.
Annette Stube, Chief Sustainability Officer of the Lego Group, stated the solar park stands as a key milestone for the brand’s global renewable energy rollout and greenhouse gas emission reduction targets. The project is engineered to balance clean power generation with ecological protection and public accessibility.
Once fully operational, the park will produce sufficient renewable electricity to cover 100% of the Lego Group’s total power usage across its Billund facilities. The new installation will boost the company’s installed renewable energy capacity by 204% versus its 2025 baseline.
The site will feature walking trails and boardwalks opening surrounding natural zones to the public. An old transformer tower on the land will be renovated and repurposed into a mini museum for local visitors.
This solar farm is a core component of the Lego Group’s long-term climate roadmap, which targets full value chain carbon neutrality by 2050. The firm diversifies its renewable portfolio via three channels: on-site self-generation, power purchase agreements (PPAs), and renewable energy certificates.
Beyond Denmark, Lego has scaled distributed solar capacity across its international manufacturing footprint. Its factories in Kladno (Czech Republic) and Nyíregyháza (Hungary) host over 17MWp of solar assets combined. A 28MWp solar system is under construction at its Chesterfield, Virginia plant in the U.S.
Its Vietnam factory manufactures rooftop solar panels, while the Jiaxing production base in China has deployed 20,000 rooftop solar modules generating roughly 6GWh of green power each year.
