Construction is underway on The LEGO Group’s latest solar park. Opening in Billund, Denmark, in 2027, this renewable energy project is expected to offset 100% of the company’s electricity use in the area, a major step in The LEGO Group’s goal of net-zero greenhouse emissions by 2050.
The solar park marks one of The LEGO Group’s largest sustainability efforts to date. Once operational, the facility is projected to generate approximately 99 GWh of renewable electricity annually. It will have an installed renewable energy capacity of 116 MW, increasing The LEGO Group’s installed capacity by a whopping 204% compared to 2025.
The site also doubles as a nature preserve and community space. Roughly a third of the park will be dedicated to natural habitats, wetlands, and other areas that support and protect the local wildlife. The surrounding green space will feature a variety of public walking paths to explore, each with signs that teach visitors about local biodiversity, as well as a small museum space, hidden within a restored transformer tower.
Annette Stube, Chief Sustainability Officer at The LEGO Group, says, “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.”
