The National Company Bucharest Airports (CNAB) has launched a project to build a photovoltaic power plant with a total capacity of 31.5 MWp, intended for the self-consumption of Henri Coandă International Airport Bucharest. The project, valued at 283,765,450 lei (excluding VAT), includes a 30 MWh energy storage system and is part of a broader process of modernizing airport infrastructure. The first phase of the project involves the construction of a plant with a capacity of 12.6 MWp and a storage system of 17.88 MWh, for which CNAB has obtained non-reimbursable funding of 132,044,800 lei.

This initiative aims to increase energy autonomy, reduce operational costs, and diminish environmental impact, thus aligning with international sustainability standards. The airport recently obtained Level 3 accreditation under the Airport Carbon Accreditation program, recognizing its efforts in managing CO₂ emissions.
