New Plymouth Airport – Stories that Matter
Here at New Plymouth Airport, we are committed to building a vibrant, sustainable, and culturally rich hub for Taranaki.
As a way to highlight this, we created New Plymouth Airport – Stories that Matter – a space dedicated to telling our unique stories and showcasing the exciting projects we’ve got going on here at the airport.
Our projects and initiatives are designed to foster positive environmental impact, celebrate our cultural heritage, and enhance the overall passenger experience.

Solar power initiative takes flight
We’re creating a large solar power system on neighbouring farmland leased from New Plymouth District Council. This renewable system is a cost-effective and efficient power source with long-term benefits for the aiport and the environment, and demonstrates our commitment to modern, eco-friendly facilities.
The first phase of the project will see 14,400 solar panels, generating up to 14,700 megawatt hours. As well as avoiding more than 1,500 tonnes of CO2 out of our atmosphere each year, the solar farm will make New Plymouth Airport self-sufficient in energy and provide added income from the sale of surplus electricity.
