The LEGO factory in Klando, Czech Republic, has more than doubled its renewable energy production capacity.
The company has completed another phase of its rooftop solar park expansion, supporting LEGO’s commitment to increasing renewable energy capacity and production at its sites. Through these modifications, the energy generated by the previously installed solar panels increased from the existing 1 MWp to the new 2.3 MWp. The total capacity is equivalent to powering 400 homes.
New solar panels have been added to both old and new buildings as well as previously unused roof space at the factory. There are now twice as many panels as before and the area is approximately 11,000 square meters. A 9% reduction in total electricity consumption is equivalent to a reduction of approximately 1,800 tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
“Expanding the factory’s renewable energy capacity is a key part of our commitment to minimizing the environmental impact of our manufacturing activities and reducing our carbon footprint. The newly installed solar panels are expected to reduce the factory’s overall carbon footprint over the next few years from its annual More than 9% of total electricity consumption.
