Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is rolling out a massive solar energy plan across its UK operations as it pushes toward sourcing one-third of its global energy from renewables by 2030.

This summer, JLR launched an 18 MW solar farm at its Gaydon headquarters, spanning 26 hectares and supplying up to 31 percent of the site’s electricity. Beneath the panels, wildflowers are blooming and hedgerows are being restored with pollinator-friendly species, boosting biodiversity beyond the minimum requirements.

Over in Wolverhampton, the Electric Propulsion Manufacturing Centre is set to complete an expansion this autumn. With over 18,000 solar panels on its roof, this will be the UK’s largest automotive rooftop solar array, generating about 10.7 MW and meeting nearly 40 percent of the plant’s energy needs.

Looking ahead to 2026, JLR will roll out more than 10 MW of solar carports at its Halewood site. These installations will offer EV charging, covered parking, and will be the largest of their kind in the UK.

This solar drive is part of a broader shift to renewable energy that will cut emissions and increase resilience. JLR is already seeing tangible results in emissions reduction and a more stable energy future.
