John F. Kennedy International Airport

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:

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

10.5Ā MWĀ Microgrid Scope
  • 7.7 MWDC solar

  • 3.84 MW RNG-ready fuel cells with CHP

  • Circular waste heat to chilled water systemĀ 
  • 24/7 visibility & control via AlphaStruxure’s Network Operation Center and Integrateā„¢ digital platform

Impact:

Deploying microgrids is a key resilience objective for the DoD. Existing EUL and PPA procurement authorities for microgrids can be combined into an Energy as a Service procurement model. The EaaS model draws from the EUL’s authority to execute land leases for the siting of energy infrastructure (microgrids) on DoD installations. It also draws from the PPA’s authority that enables a energy developer to contract with a DoD agency by selling energy in exchange for its services in financing, designing, building, owning, operating, and maintaining energy infrastructure.Ā
