- LEGO Manufacturing Vietnam signed a DPPA with VSIP to run its Ho Chi Minh City factory on 100% renewable energy.
- The renewable system reduces ~15,000 tonnes of emissions yearly and covers 75% of energy needs.
LEGO Manufacturing Vietnam has signed a Direct Power Purchase Agreement (DPPA) with the Vietnam–Singapore Industrial Park (VSIP) to supply renewable electricity to its new Ho Chi Minh City factory.
Meanwhile, VSIP will deliver electricity from its large-scale solar panels to the factory via an industrial battery energy storage system, ensuring a stable renewable supply. The agreement also supports LEGO’s goal of operating the facility entirely on renewable energy.
Jesper Hassellund Mikkelsen, Senior Vice President of Asia Operations and General Manager of LEGO Manufacturing Vietnam, said, “This agreement marks a major step in operating the factory on renewable energy. We are proud to be among the first companies in Vietnam to sign a DPPA and grateful for the support of national and provincial authorities.”
Furthermore, the signing ceremony featured Denmark’s Ambassador to Vietnam, Nicolai Prytz, alongside representatives from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Ho Chi Minh City authorities, and VSIP leadership.
Nguyen Phu Thinh, VSIP General Director, said the deal demonstrates a shared commitment to accelerate Vietnam’s renewable energy transition and “sets a new benchmark for low-carbon manufacturing.”
In addition, the renewable energy supply will cut the factory’s carbon emissions by approximately 15,000 tonnes annually starting in early 2026. Paired with 12,400 rooftop solar panels installed, the system will provide roughly 75 per cent of the factory’s energy needs during its first five years.
LEGO’s Vietnam factory, which opened in April 2025, is the company’s sixth global facility and its most environmentally sustainable to date. Built on 44 hectares with a USD 1 billion investment, it will support LEGO’s long-term growth across Asia.
