Solar-powered Hubballi Airport is Karnataka first ‘green airport’
Hubballi Airport has become the first ‘green airport’ in the state following the commissioning of an 8MW solar power plant on its premises. The green energy generated here will be sufficient to light up six airports in the state, GPS-aided GEO augmented navigation (GAGAN) installation and Bagalur residential quarters in Bengaluru.
“One more feather in the cap of our Hubballi Airport. To achieve Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s dream of producing 50 per cent energy from renewable energy by 2030, now Hubballi Airport has become 100 per cent Green Airport as an 8MWp grid-connected solar power plant at Hubballi Airport is commissioned,” tweeted Union Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Pralhad Joshi.
