Disney Adds Two New Solar Arrays

Walt Disney World Resort announced the addition of two solar arrays capable of producing over 375,000 MWh of solar energy in their first full year of operation. 

The two new 75 MW arrays will be located on over 1000 total acres in Gilchrist County and Polk County, Florida and are part of the entertainment company’s 2030 goal of achieving net zero emissions. Both arrays are expected to be online by early 2023 and are located.

“Building on today’s exciting launch of Disney Planet Possible and just in time to celebrate Earth Month, Walt Disney World Resort’s available solar energy resources will more than double with two new solar arrays constructed by two prominent Solar Development companies. As the most recent examples of Disney’s commitment to taking action to change our planet’s story, these new arrays will reduce our carbon footprint and help power even more magic in our theme parks, resorts and beyond!” said Mark Penning, Vice President, Animals, Science and Environment, Disney Parks in a statement.
