George Airport in South Africa becomes the first solar airport in Africa

 
George Airport in South Africa becomes the first solar-powered airport in Africa.
First phase of the solar plant worth 1 million dollar has just been launched providing 40 percent of the airport’s energy. Once completed the plant will deliver a 750kw power support the airport.
“The new solar-powered airport will rely on cost-effective, renewable sources to generate energy, and simultaneously support South Africa’s greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets,” said South Africa’s Environmental Affairs Minister, Edna Molewa.
