The central utility plant is planned to be fueled primarily by electricity the airport purchases from 100% renewable sources and will provide additional capacity to address future heating and cooling demand as the airport grows.

“We’re proud to be part of this pioneering sustainability project that demonstrates how to simultaneously expand a critical building’s footprint while reducing environmental impact,” said Angie McMillin, president of Energy Solutions and Services at Eaton. “There’s substantial federal support for infrastructure investments enabling far more resilient and sustainable energy systems. Providing the solutions, services and expertise needed to help the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport make this project a reality showcases our ability to help customers reduce emissions while improving reliability and return on investment.”
