Introducing the New Terminal One at JFK Airport
About the overall terminal project:
- 2.4M square foot, state-of-the-art international terminal, the largest at JFK
- Valued at $9.5B, the first phase of the NTO development is the largest single-asset project financing in U.S. history
- First 14 gates are expected to be open in 2026, with completion of the remaining 9 gates anticipated by 2030
Why Port Authority & New Terminal One Sought a Microgrid:
Sustainability Targets
“This first-of-its-kind microgrid solution is a major and exciting milestone in New Terminal One’s commitment to reducing our carbon footprint and setting a new industry standard on sustainability.”

Key Strategic Outcomes
-
Turns NTO into the first fullyresilient airport transit hub in the New York region that can function off-grid
-
De-risks project execution by giving NTO a partner to finance, design, build, operate, and maintain the energy system
-
Enables Port Authority’s 2040 zero-carbon electricity target
10.5 MW Microgrid Scope
7.7 MWDC solar
3.84 MW RNG-ready fuel cells with CHP
- Circular waste heat to chilled water system
- 24/7 visibility & control via AlphaStruxure’s Network Operation Center and Integrate™ digital platform
