The LEGO Group announced the launch of construction of its largest solar park to date near its headquarters in Billund, Denmark, anticipated to generate enough renewable electricity to match 100% of the company’s total electricity consumption in Billund.

The company has several sites in Billund, including its LEGO Campus, the Kornmarken manufacturing plant, Our LEGO Agency (OLA) in-house creative agency, and Innovation House, among others.

The new solar park, scheduled to begin operations in late 2027, will have an installed capacity of 116 MW, and is expected to generate approximately 99 GWh of renewable electricity annually.

In addition to generating renewable electricity, the solar park has been designed with a focus on biodiversity and community access. The site will include 65 hectares of solar panels surrounded by vegetation intended to reduce visual impact, while the remaining 35 hectares will be dedicated to natural habitats, wetlands, open landscapes, and water features designed to support local wildlife, the company said.

The surrounding nature areas will be accessible to the public, with walking paths and boardwalks aimed at creating recreational and educational opportunities focused on local biodiversity, LEGO Group added.

According to LEGO Group, the launch of the new facility forms part of its initiative to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050. In 2025, owned renewable energy accounted for 5.8% of the company’s total energy consumption at its production sites, up from 3.6% in 2024. LEGO Group said that the new facility will increase its installed renewable energy capacity by 204% compared to 2025.

Annette Stube, Chief Sustainability Officer at the LEGO Group said:

“The Billund solar park is an important milestone towards our ambition to expand our renewable energy capacity globally and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, it has been thoughtfully designed to support local biodiversity and provide a welcoming space for the community to enjoy.”
