Denver International Airport (DIA) is shifting its focus from a nuclear power plant proposal to exploring a variety of clean energy solutions to meet its increasing electricity demands. Following public backlash against a previous study on nuclear options, officials have issued a request for information to private companies to enhance energy generation and storage as part of the airport's expansion plans and its goal of achieving zero climate impact by 2040. DIA anticipates a significant rise in power demand, potentially reaching 400 megawatts by 2045, and is also considering selling electricity to nearby customers.
