Brussels 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.
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.
After a year, they will be able to choose a new energy supplier. The solar panels at Brussels Airport currently supply around 9,200 megawatt hours of green electricity per year. The airport operator wants to almost triple this amount to 24,000 megawatt hours by 2027.
