BACKGROUND

Airports are facing an increasing number of challenges and opportunities as they strive to expand energy preparedness. They will be competing with their tenants, customers, and surrounding communities for electricity to power everything from building systems to electric aircraft. Increased dependence on energy infrastructure will make airports more vulnerable to power disruptions, while upgrades to airports' power systems and the nation’s power grid will take time and come with significant costs.  

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this project is to conduct an in-person ACRP Insight Event for airport-industry practitioners, relevant stakeholders, and subject matter experts (SMEs) to discuss the key factors related to airport energy preparedness, encourage stakeholder engagement, learn about current practices and trends, and identify future research needs.

STATUS: The Insight Event was held on April 30 and May 1 in Washington, DC. A summary of the event will be published by3Q2025.
