Perth Airport is partnering with energy company AGL to deliver a solar farm as part of its plans to achieve net zero emissions by 2032. Multiple reports say AGL is appointed to design and install a solar facility of about 4.5 megawatts at the airport. One outlet describes the project as Perth Airport’s first solar farm, delivered alongside the airport’s broader, staged redevelopment and expansion efforts. Another report specifies a capacity of 4.5MW, while a separate source cites 4.545MW, indicating minor rounding differences in the project size. The initiative is presented as supporting the airport’s transition while it continues to manage increasing passenger and operational demand. Across the coverage, the key common points are the use of AGL as the project contractor for design and installation, the approximate 4.5MW capacity, and the alignment of the solar build with the airport’s targeted net-zero timeline of 2032. No additional details about commissioning dates, construction start times, or the connection arrangements are included in the provided excerpts.
