Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

This project aids in decarbonizing the aviation industry. By generating power on-site, the airport reduces its reliance on outside resources and protects itself from fluctuations in wholesale electricity prices. This also minimizes losses associated with long-distance grid delivery.
