Construction begins on new solar park near the LEGO Group's headquarters

• The LEGO Group has begun construction of its largest solar park to date, near its headquarters in Billund, Denmark.
• The project is expected to generate enough renewable electricity to match the company’s electricity consumption in Billund.
• The site is designed to combine renewable energy generation with space for local biodiversity and community use.

BILLUND, DENMARK, 17 June 2026: The LEGO Group has begun construction of its largest solar park to date in Billund, Denmark, as part of its global investment in renewable energy. When completed, the site is expected to generate enough renewable electricity to match 100% of the company’s total electricity consumption in Billund.

The solar park will have an installed capacity of 116 MW and a grid connection of 80 MW peak. It is expected to generate approximately 99 GWh of renewable electricity annually, with operations planned to begin in late 2027.

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.”

This investment forms part of the LEGO Group’s target to achieve Net-Zero greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain by 2050. The company continues to expand renewable energy capacity globally through on-site generation, Power Purchase Agreements and Renewable Energy Certificates.

With the Billund Solar Park, the company expects to increase its installed capacity by 204% compared to 2025.*

Supporting nature

The solar park has been designed with a strong focus on protecting nature. The site will include 65 hectares of solar panels surrounded by plants to minimise its visual impact, while the remaining 35 hectares will be dedicated to natural habitats, wetlands and open landscapes, including water holes, designed to support local wildlife.

Bat habitats and nesting boxes have been installed across the site, alongside planting of grasses, flowers, shrubs and trees.

Space for the local community

The surrounding nature areas will be open to the public, creating new recreational and educational spaces, where a network of paths and boardwalks will allow visitors to explore and learn more about local biodiversity. An existing transformer tower will be restored and repurposed as a small museum space.
