Activ8 Delivers 3MW Commercial Solar Installation at Liverpool John Lennon Airport
The Minister for Aviation, Maritime and Decarbonisation, Keir Mather MP, today officially opened Liverpool John Lennon Airport’s (LJLA) new £3m solar farm during a visit to the airport.
The airport’s investment in the solar farm is a key part of its Decarbonisation Plan and a zero carbon future for the airport operation by 2040.
Solar panel experts Activ8 Energies UK (formerly Low Carbon Energy) in partnership with SSE, designed and installed the new solar farm, which is located within the airport perimeter fence on land to the east of the runway. It is capable of generating up to 3 MW (megawatts) of electricity, powering up to 25% of the airport’s current overall electricity demand.
