With New PV Installation, DIA will be Largest Solar Producer in CO-
In addition to its 3.6-megawatt (MW) ground-mounted solar array,
Denver International Airport (DIA) will be implementing another 4.4 megawatts of renewable energy this fall. With a grand total of 8 megawatts, the installation will place DIA as the largest photovoltaic energy producer in all of Colorado. Constellation Energy will finance, own and operate the
solar installation and DIA will purchase the electricity produced by the system from Constellation over a 20-year period. “Denver’s airport has a widespread reputation as a green airport. Our partnership with Oak Leaf Energy, Constellation Energy and Intermountain Electric not only expands our sustainability efforts, but is a great example of public-private partnerships advancing the green economy,” says Kim Day, aviation manager for the airport. Yingli Green Energy will supply the PV panels for the project. Construction will begin early this fall and is expected to wrap up early 2011. The new installation will reportedly supply the airport with 7,000 MWh of electricity and reduce 5,000 metric ton
