Increasing our positive impact by decarbonising our energy mix and that of our clients
As part of its decarbonisation pathway, VINCI Concessions has launched an ambitious solar programme, with over 103 MWp of installed capacity across its network already. The solar power plant at Lyon-Saint Exupéry airport, commissioned in 2025, is one of the largest solar canopy plants in France, with a capacity of 20 MWp. In Scotland, one of the first ground-mounted airside solar farms in the United Kingdom was inaugurated in 2025 at Edinburgh airport. Backed by £2.1 million in funding from the Scottish government, this facility already meets around 27% of the airport’s energy needs. In Brazil, the 570-kilometre Entrevias concession is now fully powered by solar energy. In Denver in the United States, new solar panels were installed along Northwest Parkway, bringing the infrastructure’s total solar capacity to over 150 kW and now supplying around 75% of the energy needed by its administrative and maintenance facilities. A new project is already underway to reach 100% renewable energy in the coming years.
Supporting electromobility
A successful energy transition also depends on decarbonising end uses. To speed up this transition, VINCI Autoroutes and VINCI Highways are promoting electromobility by equipping their networks with charging stations. In Lower Saxony in Germany, VINCI Concessions inaugurated the first of 110 electric vehicle charging sites planned under a 12-year contract awarded by the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure. In France, all service areas and some rest areas along the busiest routes in the VINCI Autoroutes network are now equipped with electric vehicle charging stations, making it the most extensively equipped highway concession network in the world.
