Lightsource bp's Crookedstone Solar Farm near Belfast International Airport, receives award for Best Environmental Initiative
Lightsource bp was awarded by Airport Operators Association for the solar farm’s valuable contribution.
Our Crookedstone solar farm, which powers Belfast International Airport, scooped the award for Best Environmental Initiative at the Airport Operators Association awards last night. In order to win, Lightsource had to be nominated by Belfast International Airport into the AOA awards and both marketing teams worked closely together to produce the award entry.
Judges were particularly impressed with the airport’s reduction in electricity consumption from the grid as well as the valuable contribution the solar farm is making towards lowering their carbon footprint.
