Project Overview

Athens International Airport launched the ROUTE 2025 initiative to achieve net-zero carbon emissions well ahead of the aviation sector’s 2050 target. The programme focuses on large-scale on-site renewable generation and energy storage to increase the airport’s energy autonomy and sustainability.

EUDITI acted as prime consultant and project developer for the renewable energy infrastructure implemented within Athens International Airport as part of this net-zero carbon programme.

EUDITI’s Role

Prime consultant and project developer responsible for feasibility, technical design, procurement coordination, regulatory interface and project management for both the photovoltaic and battery energy storage components of the programme.

Key Themes

Development Highlights

Aviation Safety Integration

PV installations must not interfere with navigation systems such as ILS or create glare that could affect pilots.

Self-Consumption Design

System optimised for on-site consumption rather than electricity export, changing the design logic.

Critical Infrastructure

Integrating large renewable energy systems into an existing airport electrical network requiring high operational safety.

Renewable energy deployment in airports requires a fundamentally different approach than conventional solar projects — combining aviation safety, self-consumption logic and critical infrastructure reliability.
