The Disneyland Paris solar canopy will provide 36 GWh/year of power once completed.
Disneyland Paris has started construction on the final phase of a solar canopy plant that, when completed, will be the largest in all of Europe. The solar canopy, which is located in the parking lot, covers 11,200 parking spaces and provides the added benefit of shielding guest cars from the elements.
Once complete, the solar canopy at Disneyland Paris will produce 36 GWh/year of electricity, which is enough to power a town of 17,400 people. The canopy project is part of a larger goal Disney set to reach net-zero emissions by 2030.

Disneyland Paris is not the only Disney park that utilizes solar power. Castaway Cay obtains approximately 70% of the island’s power from the 4,320 panels housed there. At Tokyo Disney, solar panels produce enough power to fuel the iconic Dreamlights Parade with solar panels installed at nine backstage locations across the resort. The 7,500 solar panels at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort make the resort home to the largest solar panel site in Hong Kong.

Disneyland Resort obtains some of its power from the 1,400 solar panels installed atop the Radiator Springs Racers attraction. Lastly, Walt Disney World Resort houses a 48,000-panel, 5-megawatt solar array in the shape of Mickey Mouse that is located just across from EPCOT. The solar production at Walt Disney World will increase in 2024 thanks to two new solar arrays which are being constructed by two prominent Solar Development companies and local utility partners.
