Airport Development Limited''s to expand its solar farm to feed into
Airport Development Limited (ADL) says it is finalising all processes to expand its solar farm project at Kamuzu International Airport (KIA) to contribute more onto the national
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.
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%.
Table 1 summaries the energy structures in airport terminals, with respect to energy supply sources and system designs. Generally, multiple renewable energy sources are available in airport, like solar thermal energy, geothermal energy, biomass and solar power energy .
The transformation is already underway. From India to Australia, California to Germany, airports are installing vast solar arrays across terminal rooftops, parking structures, and unused land. These installations range from supplementary power sources to full-scale systems capable of meeting an airport's entire energy demand.
