Pittsburgh International Airport (PIT) has announced a significant expansion of its solar energy field.

The project, which will see 11,216 solar panels installed on a closed landfill near the airport, forms part of the airport’s broader efforts to support regional energy resilience and sustainability.

The new installation is expected to generate an additional 4.7 megawatts of electricity, which will feed into the local power grid and reduce carbon emissions by an estimated 5 million pounds annually. The project represents DLC’s first power purchase agreement and supports its efforts to broaden the availability of renewable energy within the Pittsburgh region.
