Dominican airports going solar
Aeropuertos Dominicanos Siglo XXI (Aerodom), the leading operator of international airports in the Dominican Republic, announced that solar panel systems have been installed at several of their airports as part of the corporation’s commitment with the environment.
Aerodom announced 1,670 solar panels, with a capacity to produce 543 kWp were installed at the Gregorio Luperón International Airport in Puerto Plata (POP). This will supply 12% of the airport’s energy needs.
At the northern Santo Domingo La Isabela International Airport (JBQ), 2,640 panels, with a production of 858 kWp were installed, equivalent to 43% of the energy demand of that airport.
Likewise, at the Maria Montez International Airport (BRX) in Barahona, 616 panels were installed, able to produce 220 kWp, or 78% of the airport’s energy demand.
The project contemplates a second phase, when solar panels would be installed at the Las Americas International Airport (SDQ) in Santo Domingo, the El Catey International Airport in Samana (AZS). The second phase also calls for an expansion of the initial installation of solar panels at the Puerto Plata international airport.
