JFK Airport Unveils Record-Breaking Solar Carport and Energy Storage Project

Kennedy Airport is set to become home to the largest solar carport and energy storage system in New York State, spanning over 21 acres while preserving the parking lot beneath. The project will generate 12 megawatts of power, powering JFK’s AirTrain and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by over 6,000 tons annually. Phase 1, expected to be completed by March 2023, will provide power to the airport, while Phase 2, scheduled for completion in April 2026, will connect the system to the local grid, supplying clean energy to surrounding communities, including low-income households.
