Airports are facing an increasing number of challenges and opportunities as they strive to expand energy preparedness. They will be competing with their tenants, customers, and surrounding communities for electricity to power everything from building systems to electric aircraft. Increased dependence on energy infrastructure will make airports more vulnerable to power disruptions, while upgrades to airports' power systems and the nation’s power grid will take time and come with significant costs.
