Perth Airport partners with AGL on first solar farm

Perth Airport has officially partnered with AGL to construct its first solar farm, a 4.545 MW facility east of the general aviation precinct. The project will generate over 10 GWh annually, directly supporting the airport’s net-zero by 2032 target and 50% renewable energy goal. Construction integrates into the existing 22 kV network and complements fleet electrification efforts. Completion is scheduled for 2027 as part of the $5 billion staged redevelopment handling 30 million passengers by 2046. This initiative marks the sector’s shift toward on-site renewable generation to meet rigorous international climate mandates while accommodating growing traveler volumes.
