In a further clean-tech push, Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport said that almost 70 per cent of its power consumption comes from solar.
The airport, one of the busiest in the country, gets around 50 million units, or 67 per cent of its energy requirement, from solar power. “In 2018, we installed 3.35 MW solar plant and purchased 20 million units of solar power from Bosch Energy and Building Solutions,” Lakshminarayanan S, Vice-President, Engineering & Maintenance, Bangalore International Airport (BIAL), told BusinessLine.
BIAL has done this through an opex (operational expenditure) approach.
It selected Sunshot, a start-up specialising in rooftop solar and which had worked Mumbai International Airport, for the Kempegowda project.
“The power plant has been installed over multiple roofs including of the Engineering and Maintenance building and the Air India SATS building,” said Rahul Dasari, Co-founder and Chief Executive of Sunshot.
