Solar to supply a third of energy at JLR HQ

Jaguar Land Rover Opens 26-Hectare Solar Farm at Gaydon Headquarters

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has taken a significant step towards increasing its energy independence by opening a massive solar farm at its Gaydon headquarters. The solar farm, spanning 26 hectares and equivalent to the size of 36 football pitches, has a capacity of 18MW, which can generate enough electricity to power a third of the British firm’s base. This initiative is part of JLR’s efforts to source at least 30% of its global energy use from on-site renewables, reduce reliance on grid energy, and improve its environmental impact.

The Gaydon solar farm is strategically located at the site housing JLR’s design, engineering, and R&D teams. This move not only helps the company in reducing its operational emissions but also brings it closer to achieving its net zero goal. Andrea Debbane, JLR’s chief sustainability officer, emphasized the importance of such initiatives in driving tangible value both in the present and for the long-term sustainability of the company.

Another notable project in the pipeline is the installation of a large rooftop solar array at JLR’s Wolverhampton Electric Propulsion Manufacturing Centre. This array, featuring over 18,000 panels, is set to open soon and is expected to generate approximately 9500 MWh of energy annually, meeting 40% of the site’s energy needs.

In addition to these projects, JLR is also gearing up to install 10MW of solar car ports at its Merseyside site next year. These solar car ports, including canopies and solar walkways, will primarily cater to providing energy for electric vehicle charging. Such innovative structures are commonly seen in sunnier regions like Spain and will further contribute to JLR’s sustainability goals.

With these bold steps towards renewable energy generation and energy efficiency, Jaguar Land Rover is setting a strong example for the automotive industry. By leveraging solar power and other renewable sources, the company is not only reducing its carbon footprint but also showcasing its commitment to a sustainable future.
