Experience this project
Towards the end of 2023, we started installing an additional 5,000 solar panels to our International Terminal roof and car park, growing our existing our solar network to over 33,000+ panels.
Overview
Brisbane Airport remains committed to renewable energy across all areas of the airport and with a precinct that is operational, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, the power required to light, heat, and cool each of the facilities is significant. As part of our ongoing sustainability strategy, we are embarking on a project to expand our solar energy assets at the International Terminal. This includes an additional 5,000 panels, producing 3.2 Gw/h per year, covering 7% of the airport's total energy requirements.
Construction Timeline
- Solar panel rooftop works and installation on the northern concourse of the International Terminal between Gates 75 to 79 and the Emirates lounge rooftop are complete.
- Works are now complete on the southern concourse International Terminal roof between Gates 82 to 86.
- Installation on the International Terminal Multi-Level Car Park rooftop is currently underway for completion by August 2024.
Sustainability Improvements
- In FY23 onsite solar energy generation accounts for 17% of supply.
- Our Rooftop Solar is the largest panel installation at an Australian airport and the largest commercial system in the Southern Hemisphere.
- Future solar panel projects across the airport precinct buildings are underway or planned to further reduce our carbon emissions.
2018 Solar Installation Project
In 2018, Brisbane Airport invested $11 million in a major solar project across six sites on the airport. This project added 18,000+ panels to the airport precinct.
