Photovoltaic

Projects involving photovoltaic systems

Aeroporto di Bologna is working to develop and implement photovoltaic system projects. The new photovoltaic systems will have an installed capacity of approximately 100 kW and 300 kW, whilst the project to the north of the runway will have a capacity of approximately 4,400 kW.

Work on two new photovoltaic systems has been completed: one on the roof of the Baggage Handling System (BHS) building, with the positioning of 240 panels and an installed capacity of around 100 kW, and a second system over the roof of the terminal, with over 750 panels and a capacity of around 300 kW, currently being connected.

At the same time, the Company is working on the project for a large photovoltaic system to the north of the runway, which, with a capacity of 4,400 kW, will contribute to the airport’s renewable energy production. The design of the plant envisaged the construction of a photovoltaic field with approximately 9,500 panels that will be able to reach a capacity of 4,400 kW.

Aeroporto di Bologna therefore expects to equip itself with photovoltaic systems in the coming years that will develop a total capacity of approximately 4,800 kW.

Other works

Electricity drawn from the grid is purchased with guarantees of origin certifying that it comes from renewable sources. Furthermore, several efficiency measures have been implemented in recent years, such as the trigeneration plant and relamping of the workshop, light towers and passenger terminal. The photovoltaic, trigeneration and re-lamping projects aim to reduce specific energy consumption and emissions.
