Disney’s solar farm

Walt Disney World is using a new 270-acre solar farm that takes up as much space as its Magic Kingdom park — times two. A number of reporters got a tour of the new 50 MW facility last week, the Orlando Sentinel reports.

The new solar farm features more than 500,000 solar panels which move to follow the sun, and it can produce enough electricity to run two of Disney’s parks. Officials said 25 percent of the entire Walt Disney World Resort runs on solar power during “pristine sunny conditions.” Epcot center also has Mickey Mouse-shaped solar panels, though the new solar farm will deliver the vast majority of solar power at the Resort.

Disney is looking to cut its emissions in half by next year, when compared to 2012 levels.
