• 61% global solar capacity increase since 2022.
• 72% more capacity planned by 2025, including tripling solar power in Hungary.
• Net-zero emissions target by 2050, with a 37% reduction goal by 2032.

LEGO Scales Up Renewable Energy

LEGO has ramped up its solar power efforts, adding 22 MWp of capacity globally since 2022. This includes a 400% increase at its Billund, Denmark headquarters and a doubling of capacity at its Kladno, Czech Republic factory. Currently, solar accounts for about 4% of the company’s energy use, but rapid expansion is underway.

“At the LEGO Group, we want to play our part in creating a more sustainable world for children to inherit.”

Major Solar Investments Ahead

By 2025, LEGO aims to expand capacity by 72% (37.97 MWp) across its sites. Key projects include:

• Nyíregyháza, Hungary – Solar capacity will triple, with installations already in progress.
• Vietnam’s new factory – Over 12,400 rooftop solar panels installed, adding 7.34 MWp.
• Billund, Denmark – An 80 MWp solar park to be completed by 2028 to power headquarters operations.
