The Federal Transport Ministry is providing Frankfurt Airport with €8.7 million to modernise its ground‑power supply, aiming for all 252 aircraft parking positions to have a fixed power connection or battery‑electric ground power units by 2030.
Fraport will buy two additional battery units for €227 000, bringing the total to 18 units with a plan for 22 by 2029, and will spend €8.5 million on pre‑conditioned air systems, targeting 18 apron‑A positions by 2029 (two already equipped), while seeking to cut annual greenhouse‑gas emissions to 50,000 tonnes CO₂‑equivalent by 2030.
