Phase 1 of our solar farm is now operational and Phase 2 will expand the renewable electricity output.

Does Dublin Airport need solar power?

Subject to planning permission, Phase 2 envisages the staged deployment of an additional 6,000 solar panels by late 2027. This is sufficient to fully power the baggage systems in Terminals 1 and 2 and means a further 4% – 6% of the annual electricity needs of Dublin Airport will come from renewable energy generated onsite.

Why should Dublin Airport Invest in solar?

Vincent Harrison, daa Chief Commercial and Development Officer, said: “Investing in solar reduces Dublin Airport’s reliance on the national electricity grid and boosts our onsite energy generation capabilities.

Why is Dublin Airport promoting sustainable aviation fuels?

These emissions emanate from many sources including aircraft flight emissions and passenger transport to and from the airport. Dublin Airport is supporting its airline customers’ exploration of sustainable aviation fuels and the possibilities of hydrogen and electricity powered flight.
