Toyota Launches 30-Acre Solar Project at its Plant in Kentucky
GEORGETOWN, KY—Toyota marked a major clean energy milestone last week with the activation of a nearly 30-acre solar field at its flagship manufacturing plant in Georgetown, Kentucky.
The solar array will generate approximately 15 million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity annually, equivalent to powering more than 1,400 U.S. homes each year.
As part of the Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050, the project supports the company’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality across all its manufacturing facilities by 2035.
“This is about more than renewable energy,” added Ebonye Allen, environmental engineering manager at Toyota Kentucky. “It’s about reaffirming our commitment to our communities and embedding sustainability into everything we do.”
Toyota Kentucky — the automaker’s largest global manufacturing site — employs nearly 10,000 team members and produces the Camry Hybrid, RAV4 Hybrid, and Lexus ES350. The facility is set to begin assembly of Toyota’s first U.S.-made battery electric vehicle in 2026.
