Technical FAQs 4

Why is Cochin International Airport a solar-powered airport?

By becoming the world’s first fully solar-powered airport, Cochin International Airport Limited has not only revolutionized its operations but also set a formidable precedent for the global aviation industry. Over 46,000 solar panels across 45 acres generate sufficient electricity to power the airport, significantly reducing its carbon footprint.

Why do airports use solar panels?

In recent years, solar panels are getting installed in the lands around the airport runways to get sustainable energy. At some of the major airports in the US and around the world, solar panels are providing power during daily operations. Airport environments are favourable for solar projects.

What is a solar-powered airport?

A fully solar-powered facility means the entire airport, starting from the air traffic control room, baggage claim, runway lights to passenger terminals, will work on solar power. The airport premises have a lot of vacant space that is being used to set up solar panels. The Asian Development Bank has agreed to fund the ‘green airport’ project.

How much does a solar-powered airport cost?

The project’s target is to generate 10 MW of solar power. The estimated cost of the project is nearly $10 million, or $1 million per MW. The airport, when completed, is likely to be the second fully solar-powered airport in the world after India’s Cochin International Airport.
