Chennai Airport to go solar
Posted on: 21/May/2016 10:57:41 AM
The Chennai Airport will soon be able to save upto Rs, 8 crores in annual power expenses as it will soon be moving to solar energy. A 1.5 MW solar power plant will be operational shortly.
Say officials of the Airports Authority of India (AAI), The installation of the panels on the roof of the cargo terminal has been completed and it will become operational anytime after the election verdict is out. It would reduce the power bill for us by `8 crore per annum. We are currently paying `20 crore to the electricity board every year. In addition to the 1.5 MW power plant, the airport has plans to expand solar power generation on the premises. We have already prepared a blueprint for setting up 7.5 MW of solar plants. The government wanted us to exploit the land for non-conventional energy production. The Chennai Airport sits on over 4,000 acres of land and setting up solar plants will not only help achieve significant savings in power bills over a period of time but also result in substantial reduction in carbon emissions, apart from making airports self-sustainable as far as energy requirement is concerned.
