The largest airport solar farm in Scotland is to be built in Glasgow as the airport looks to decarbonise its infrastructure and achieve net zero by the mid-2030s.
The 30-acre onsite, ground mounted solar farm will give Glasgow Airport the capability to generate enough power for the airport campus and neighbouring businesses, equivalent to powering almost 20% of homes in Glasgow or 52,000 households.
With the c.15MW solar farm already in the early stages of development, subject to planning, it's expected to be operational by summer 2023, subject to planning approval. The plant represents just one of a number of initiatives the airport and its parent group, AGS Airports, is undertaking to support its journey to net zero.
