London Gatwick has announced a major partnership with renewable energy provider Vital Energi to deliver a £250 million decarbonisation programme, aimed at achieving net zero for the airport’s own emissions by 2030.

Under a five-year contract, Vital Energi will help the airport transition away from natural gas and implement a wide range of energy efficiency upgrades across approximately 50 buildings on-site. This includes the North and South terminals, engineering facilities, and office spaces.

The project will focus on eliminating Gatwick’s reliance on fossil fuels by switching to zero carbon heating solutions and enabling the airport to generate its own energy. This is expected to significantly boost energy resilience and reduce carbon emissions.

Vital Energi, recognised for its large-scale sustainable energy projects, will lead the development and installation of modern heat infrastructure. Their work will include deploying heat pumps and implementing energy-saving measures throughout the airport's buildings.
