Big plans for 2019

摘要

The roof of the Helsinki airport's terminal is currently being fitted with new solar panels. They belong to Finavia's solar plant, whose first application was opened just under two years ago. Next year, more panels will be installed on the facade of the parking complex, which will then be open. Currently, 100% of Helsinki airport's energy is produced using renewable energy sources. The power plant, which is located on the roof, produces approximately 5% of the terminal extensions' electricity. The rest of the airport's electricity is produced by wind power. Typically, airport emissions are caused by the energy consumption of buildings, lighting and vehicles. The production of renewable energy was one of the most important factors in the airport's drive towards achieving its certified carbon neutral status. Initial panels were installed on the terminal roof during the summer of 2017. According to the airport, the system's energy production has corresponded to expectations. The second phase will be completed this spring, and the new section should produce 330 kWp of solar power. Solar panels earmarked for the car park will be targeting electric cars.
