British automaker Jaguar Land Rover Automotive plc (JLR), part of Tata Motors, unveiled a plan to install 18,000 photovoltaic (PV) panels on its 61‑year‑old factory in Merseyside, North West England.
The PV system at the Halewood site is expected to produce 8,600 GWh of clean energy, equating to 10% of the site’s energy consumption.
The PV project, aligned with JLR’s goal of becoming carbon net zero by 2039, is part of a GBP-500-million (USD 668.5m/EUR 599.3m) factory upgrade aimed at preparing the company for electric vehicle production.
Overall, the automaker seeks to eliminate 40,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions from Halewood’s industrial footprint through a mix of renewables, fuel switching and energy efficiency products.
