Lexmark breaks ground on solar panel array at Lexington HQ, Kentucky

Christian Fernsby ▼ |
Lexmark International plans to invest $4 million to establish a solar panel array and educational greenspace area at its corporate headquarters in Lexington.

Lexmark will construct a 10-acre solar panel array at its Fayette County location. The 2-megawatt direct-current array will generate over 225,000 kilowatt hours per month – more than 3.3 million kilowatt hours in its first year – and will offset approximately 10% of the site’s energy usage.

The array will be used to power the Lexmark facility and has potential to increase capacity up to 6 megawatts. Company leaders anticipate work on the project to begin immediately and be completed by the end of 2022.

The project also will revitalize a brownfield area, which will be used as an educational greenspace with walking trails, a wildlife habitat, a butterfly garden and planting area for pollinator flowers. Power generation analytics resulting from the solar array will be displayed at the company’s customer engagement center.

The solar array and revitalized brownfield also will be utilized to further enhance Lexmark’s longstanding support of STEM education opportunities for local schools.

Lexmark has worked with the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet’s (EEC) Office of Kentucky Nature Preserves to remove non-native, invasive species and incorporate native species within the area of the project.

Headquartered in Lexington since its inception in 1991, Lexmark creates cloud-enabled imaging and IoT technologies that help customers in more than 170 countries worldwide quickly realize business outcomes. ■
