As of this autumn, Faro Airport, managed by ANA (VINCI Airports/ VINCI Concessions), boasts its own solar power plant. With a capacity of 3 MWc, it covers 30% of the airport's electricity requirements, thus reducing CO2 emissions by more than 1,500 t per year.

This first airport solar power plant in the country has been financed, developed, built and is being operated by VINCI Airports via its photovoltaic subsidiary SunMind. This initiative forms part of the worldwide decarbonisation programme launched by VINCI Airports, which is working to achieve zero net carbon emissions before 2030 at its airports in Portugal and throughout the European Union, and in 2050 at the latest at all its airports worldwide.
