Work on a new solar farm at Bristol Airport has begun. The 2.8 acre solar farm is being built on the airfield.
Preparatory work is already underway with the major work starting this month. The solar farm is expected to be completed by the summer.
The solar panels, combined with the existing roof mounted panels at the administration building and the car rental consolidation site, will be expected to increase the renewable energy generated on site to at least 16% of the airport’s direct energy needs over the year. All power generated would be consumed onsite.
