Brussels Airport to sell electricity to nearby homes
Brussels Airport is launching a pilot project to sell solar power, generated by panels at the airport, to residents of surrounding municipalities.
View DetailsBrussels Airport promises that an average household will save around €124 per annum on electricity if they switch to green energy generated by the airport's solar panels. The pilot project is being conducted in collaboration with the sustainable energy platform Bolt.
Residents of Zaventem, Machelen, Steenokkerzeel, and Kortenberg can sign up through Bolt starting this week to receive a year of green energy from Brussels Airport Company.
This pilot project, part of Brussels Airport's European Stargate initiative, seeks to explore the feasibility of a small-scale participatory scheme between the airport and the surrounding residents. Approximately 9,200 megawatt-hours of green energy is already being produced on-site at Brussels Airport using solar panels.
Approximately 9,200 megawatt-hours of green energy is already being produced on-site at Brussels Airport using solar panels. In 2024, an additional 65,000 m² of solar panels, equivalent to about nine football fields, was added to the cargo zone. The airport aims to reach 27 MWp, generating approximately 24,000 megawatt-hours per year, by 2027.
