Construction began on DIA 7 in the first quarter of 2021, with the project slated to enter commercial operation in the first quarter of 2022. “These additional solar projects will help us improve the sustainability of our energy supply while helping us reach our goal of becoming one of the greenest airports in the world.”īoth DIA 7 and DIA 8 have long-term power purchase agreements in place with an investment-grade offtaker – the airport itself. “Sustainability is one of the guiding principles in our Vision 100 plan which will help prepare the airport for 100 million passengers in approximately 10 years,” said DEN CEO Phil Washington. “These relationships have allowed us to collectively pursue important solar projects that directly address Mayor Hancock’s sustainability objectives for the airport and the City of Denver.” “We are pleased to continue our strong partnership with both DEN and Greenbacker,” mentions John Hereford, CEO of Oak Leaf.


“Our ongoing partnership with Oak Leaf Energy Partners continues to expand access to renewable energy across Colorado, and their extensive solar development experience was a distinct benefit to these projects.” “We consider it a privilege to be part of a clean energy future for Denver International Airport,” says Charles Wheeler, CEO of GREC.
