DFW Airport Breaks Ground on Trailblazing Electric Central Utility Plant

Written By Kathleen Otto

As part of its commitment to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2030, Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) broke ground on the construction of a new, electric Central Utility Plant (eCUP) that will provide sustainably powered heating and cooling capacity to support the growth of DFW Airport. The $234 million facility will be primarily fueled by electricity purchased by the airport that comes from 100% renewable sources.

“DFW Airport is investing in the future of sustainable aviation, and the addition of a fully electric utility plant is a major component of achieving net-zero carbon emissions from airport operations by 2030,” said Sean Donohue, Chief Executive Officer, DFW Airport.
