It is part of Aena Photovoltaic Plan under which the operator aims for 100% of electricity for all its airports to come from renewable energy by 2026 to generate around 950 GWh annually with an investment worth $350 million.
The 142.42 MW DC project will account for 24.8% of the total aimed under the plan.
“All of this will make the company the leader among European airports for the production of renewable energy for airport infrastructures,” stated Aena.
