Airports Company South Africa (ACSA) plans to build solar power plants at all six of the South African airports it owns and operates by November this year.
ACSA regional airports corporate affairs senior manager Senzeni Ndebele says the solar programme forms part of ACSA’s environmental sustainability strategy, which is a key element of the company’s 2025 strategy.
To date, ACSA has built solar power plants at the Upington, George and Kimberley airports, as part of the solar power plant project, with completion for regional airports expected by the end of 2017.
Feasibility studies at different stages are evaluating the possibility of installing rooftop installations at OR Tambo, King Shaka and Cape Town international airports, varying from 750 kWp to 1 500 kWp, as part of the project, says Ndebele.
He adds that the plants will ensure that the airports use less energy from the national grid, with the long-term plan being for airports to generate their own power.
