Cochin International Airport To Be India’s First Fully Solar Powered Airport

KOCHI: Cochin International Airport is all set to become the first airport in the country which would be operating on solar power, airport officials said today.

When the photovoltaics (PV) panels laid across 45 acres near cargo complex become functional, Cochin airport will have 50,000 to 60,000 units of electricity per day to be consumed for all its operational functions, which will technically make the airport “absolutely power neutral”.

The solar plant will help CIAL to reduce carbon emissions equal to 1.75 lakh MT for the next 25 years. This is equal to planting 30 lakh trees.
