Microgrids: The Future of Resiliency at Airports
Explore how microgrids enhance airport energy resilience, sustainability, and efficiency, with insights on benefits, challenges, and
As airports around the world embrace solar energy, they are proving that large-scale renewable power systems are vital for the future of airport infrastructure. These advancements are paving the way for greener, more efficient airports globally, showcasing the transformative power of solar energy.
Powered by our renewable system. The 5-hectare, 10MW solar farm occupies an area in the south-western corner where Airport Drive meets Puketapu Crescent. This innovative installation generates clean, renewable energy on-site while powering the airport and removing more than 1,500 tonnes of CO2 from our atmosphere annually.
Thundergrid is using New Plymouth Airport's new solar farm to store and supply locally generated power to the business. Supplied It led to an uptick of demand for EVs at home and for business fleets, all needing to balance EV charging with overall energy use throughout the day.
The transformation of airports through solar power goes beyond an environmental initiative—it demonstrates the potential of large-scale solar installations. By incorporating solar energy, airports can achieve significant energy cost reductions, with estimates ranging from 40-60%.
