Edinburgh Airport signs deal to build solar energy farm

AMPYR Solar Europe (ASE) and Edinburgh Airport have signed a deal to develop a new solar farm linked with battery technology and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure at Scotland’s busiest airport.

Under the agreement, ASE, along with its local construction partner Absolute Solar & Wind, will build approximately 9MW of solar panels, 1.5MW of battery storage and 40 EV charging points.

The ground-mounted solar PV system and battery will be situated next to the runway on a 16-acre plot of land, connected to the airport via a high voltage private wire network.
