Powering Sustainable Airport Infrastructure - Airport-scale renewable energy at King Salman International Airport

Chief Sustainability and HSSE Officer at King Salman International Airport

Saudi Arabia

About

King Salman International Airport (KSIA) is a major airport development in Riyadh and a key component of Saudi Arabia’s ambition to strengthen the capital’s position as a global aviation, tourism and logistics hub. The development brings together airport infrastructure, aviation and logistics capabilities, real estate and airport city development, advanced technologies, and future-ready infrastructure within an integrated development.

Sustainability is embedded across the development of KSIA. The airport is targeting 100% renewable electricity at design stage, with at least 15% of total electricity demand targeted to be generated through on-site solar PV. A renewable energy feasibility study completed as part of the detailed master plan confirmed the potential for on-site solar PV to exceed this target.

As the project progresses, KSIA is exploring opportunities to engage with international investors, developers, technology providers and strategic partners across sustainable infrastructure, renewable energy, airport city and real estate development, cargo and logistics, smart airport technologies and other areas supporting the airport’s future development and operations.
