Lithuanian Airports aims to source 100% of its electricity from renewable energy sources. For this reason, opportunities to contribute to wind power projects and remote solar parks are being considered.
“Airfield sites suitable for the installation of solar power plants offer the opportunity to transform airports from energy consumers into electricity producers,” said Arnas Dūmanas, director of the Lithuanian Airports development department. “At the same time, we will gain a tool to better manage energy costs – to reduce costs when the demand for electricity increases with the electrification of airport transport fleets. Renewable energy projects are in line with Lithuanian Airports’ sustainability strategy and the net zero goal of becoming an environmentally neutral organization by 2030.
