Jaguar Land Rover Automotive plc (JLR), a subsidiary of Tata Motors, has announced plans to install 18,000 photovoltaic (PV) panels at its 61-year-old factory in Merseyside, North West England.
The PV system at the Halewood site is projected to generate 8,600 GWh of clean energy, which will account for approximately 10% of the factory's energy consumption.
This initiative is part of a broader GBP 500 million (USD 668.5 million/EUR 599.3 million) upgrade aimed at preparing the facility for electric vehicle production.
Aligned with JLR's commitment to achieving carbon net zero by 2039, the project is expected to help the automaker eliminate 40,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions from Halewood's industrial operations through a combination of renewable energy adoption, fuel switching, and energy efficiency measures.
