India's Cochin International Airport has launched as the world's first solar-powered airport. This solar powered airport officially started its journey last Tuesday. Kerala Chief Minister Umen Chandy inaugurated the 12 MW solar power plant.
According to a report on this in the online version of NDTV, this solar power will be produced through 46 thousand 150 solar panels covering 45 acres of land. Through this, the airport will have round-the-clock power for its operations.
It should be noted that the work of solar power project at Cochin International Airport was taken up from March 2013. First, solar panels with a power generation capacity of only 100 kilowatts were installed on the roof of the arrival terminal. Kolkata-based Vikram Solam Pvt Ltd is responsible for installing the panels. After the successful operation of solar power, the airport authority gradually started installing solar panels in other parts of the airport.
