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.
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.
Indira Gandhi International Airport has also become the first in India to run completely on solar and hydropower. The CIAL Solar Power Project, a 50 MW photovoltaic power station built at Cochin International Airport, India, by Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL), has made Cochin Airport the first fully solar-powered airport in the world.
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.
