The completion of Phase 2 of its rooftop solar power project represents a step change in sustainable airport operations and underscores Ferrovial\u2019s strategy to deliver low\u2011carbon, future\u2011ready infrastructure at scale.<\/p>\n<p>The solar installation generates more than 20,000 MWh of renewable electricity annually, avoiding approximately 8,500 tons of CO\u2082 emissions each year\u2014equivalent to the environmental benefit of around 380,000 trees. In addition to clean energy generation, the rooftop panels provide natural shading across skylights and glazed fa\u00e7ades, reducing cooling demand and improving energy efficiency during peak summer periods, a critical operational advantage for airport terminals in warm climates.<\/p>\n<p>The system has been fully integrated into the terminal\u2019s existing architecture and operations, using rooftop space only and requiring no expansion of the airport\u2019s physical footprint. The project demonstrates how carbon intensity in complex transport infrastructure can be materially reduced through tailored engineering, intelligent design, and optimization of existing assets. This milestone eliminates Scope 2 emissions associated with terminal electricity consumption and establishes a new global benchmark for renewable energy integration in the aviation sector.<\/p>\n<p>The project forms part of a broader sustainability roadmap at Dalaman Airport, which includes internationally recognized initiatives such as its ACI Airport Carbon Accreditation Level 3+ certification. Together with ongoing measures to optimize energy efficiency, resource use, and environmental management across the asset, the development reinforces a structured, measurable approach to reducing carbon.<\/p>\n<p>As passenger demand continues to grow, Dalaman Airport is focused on delivering a seamless, high\u2011quality experience while advancing sustainable operations. The project shows that growth and efficiency can be achieved alongside environmental performance, and the role of engineering\u2011led solutions in enabling lower\u2011impact aviation infrastructure.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n
