Overview
- LEGO will begin constructing a 22 MW ground-mounted solar park this summer on nearly 80 acres in Chesterfield County, featuring more than 30,700 panels.
- A separate 6.11 MW rooftop system with 10,080 panels will add on-site generation, bringing the combined peak capacity to over 28 MW.
- The 13-building, 340-acre complex targets LEED Platinum certification, eventual 100% renewable energy use, and zero waste from factory to landfill.
- Factory construction is advancing after the main structure’s steel topping out in October 2025, with a mass-timber office slated to top out this spring.
- More than 500 team members are already on-site with 900 expected by late 2026, and first U.S.-made LEGO bricks are planned for 2027 as the hybrid solar setup aims to reduce grid reliance and exposure to energy price swings.
