The first airport in the world based on solar energy in India

ArabiaWeather.com- Khitam Amer- Cochin International Airport, which is located in southern India, is the first airport in the world to rely on 100% solar energy, as the airport authorities recently stopped paying any money for electricity.

Cochin Airport began relying on solar energy about three years ago, and there are currently tens of thousands of solar panels that provide it with the necessary clean and sustainable energy. "We wanted to be self-reliant in producing electricity," says Jose Thomas, general manager of the airport.

The airport consumes between 84-50 thousand kilowatts of electricity per day, which is produced from the solar cells adjacent to it, the number of which is planned to be increased in order to operate another large arrival hall that is being built at the present time.

A number of countries in the world are recently seeking to rely on solar energy in their airports due to the success of the Indian experience.
