JLR Opens New Energy farm that is the size of 36 football pitches! , Autocar

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has opened a solar farm the size of 36 football Pitches at Its Gaydon Headquarters as Part of Efforts to Increase Energy Independence.

The 26-hectare, 18mw site can generate enough Electricity to power a third of the British firm’s base. The site is home to jlr’s design, engineering and r&D teams.

It is part of a move from jlr to source at least 30% of its global energy use from on-site renewables, while also redeucing its relationship on Grid Energy-and the the therefore Flucting Energy COSTES- Improving its environmental impact.

A Simlar Project is Being Completed at Its Wolverhampton Electric Propulsion Manufacturing Center. There, one of the uk’s largest rooftop arrays, featuring more than 18,000 panels, will open in the coming months.

This will be removed to generate Around 9500 mwh of energy Each year, Meeting 40% of the site’s needs.

Next year, the marque will install 10mw of solar car ports at its merceyside site. These include canopies and solar walkways – structures like these are quite common in hotter counties, such as spain. They will mostly provide energy for ev charging.

JLR’s Chief Sustainability Officer Andrea Debbane said the steps were “important”. She added: “They directly Reduce our Global Operational Emissions and Help Move Us Closer to Our Net Zero Goal, Whilst Delivering Tangible Value Today and For the Long-Term.”
