Bristol Airport begins solar farm project on airfield as part of ‘net zero’ plans

Work is under way to build a solar farm on the airfield at Bristol Airport.

The South West transport hub said when completed in the summer the 2.8 acre array of solar panels is expected to increase the amount of renewable energy generated on site to at least 16% of the airport’s direct energy needs over the year.

Bosses at the airport said the development was a “major component” in helping to deliver the airport’s ambition to operate a "net zero airfield, with net zero buildings and operate a net zero fleet of vehicles" by 2030.
