Case Study: Boston Logan International Airport achieves reduced energy costs and renewable power with Ameresco solar PPA

Airport Implements Solar Power System to Generate Renewable Power Cutting Energy Budget

Boston Logan International Airport worked with Ameresco to reduce its energy budget and increase on-site renewable generation. Under a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement, the airport pursued a solar power solution to lower electricity costs and support sustainability goals at the Massport facility.

Ameresco designed and installed a 370 kW solar PV system on Terminal A—including custom roof mounting, U.S.-made components, and air-side installations meeting strict security and safety reviews—and leveraged Massachusetts stimulus funding to lower project cost. The Ameresco project produces about 430,000 kWh annually, cuts roughly 297 metric tons of CO2 per year, and delivers discounted solar electricity to the airport under the 20-year PPA, directly reducing Boston Logan International Airport’s energy budget.
