- 10 MWh energy storage system repurposes 762 end-of-life EV batteries, supporting peak power needs and decarbonization.
- Expected CO₂ reduction of 16,000 tons over the next decade—supporting Fiumicino’s Net Zero by 2030 target.
- Europe’s largest airport solar-battery integration, boosting energy resilience and circular economy leadership.
Rome’s Fiumicino International Airport has launched Pioneer, Europe’s largest energy storage system based on second-life electric vehicle batteries. Developed by Italian utility Enel and airport operator Aeroporti di Roma (ADR), the 10 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) strengthens the airport’s energy autonomy and reduces carbon emissions.
