Solar-powered Cochin Airport
• India’s cochin airport is the world’s first 100 percent solar powered airport.
• On August 18 2015, Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL)
announced that the airport will run completely on solar power.
• Hon.Chief Minister Mr.Oommen Chandy inaugurated the 12 MWp solar
power plant, on 18th August 2015.
• A massive solar plant, adjoining the airport’s cargo produces electricity
taking care of its massive energy needs.
• The Champion of Earth Prize is considered the UN’s highest environmental
accolade.
IMPACT
• The solar panels have made the airport “absolutely power
neutral”- which means that it can create as much energy as it
consumes.
• CIAL also sell the surplus energy produced from the plant back to
the local electricity utility: Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB).
• The solar panels are expected to last for about 25 years.
• Over the next 25 years, this green power project will avoid carbon
dioxide emissions .
BUDGET
The solar panel cost CIAL about 10 million dollar to construct.
They will be able to recover this amount within a span of 5 years.
