en.Wedoany.com Reported - Zurich Airport Brasil will build four solar power plants at Vitória Airport in the state of Espírito Santo, forming a photovoltaic complex with a total investment of R$20 million, a total installed capacity of 5,787 kWp, and approximately 8,000 photovoltaic modules.

The photovoltaic system is expected to generate approximately 769 MWh of electricity per month, fully meeting the operational energy needs of Vitória Airport. The project is scheduled to officially commence construction on July 1, and the concessionaire will announce the project on that day.

Prior to advancing the Vitória project, the concessionaire had already deployed similar photovoltaic systems at other airports in Brazil. In February of this year, the concessionaire activated a photovoltaic system at Macaé Airport in the state of Rio de Janeiro, featuring 1,440 solar modules with an installed capacity of 1 MW. The concessionaire also plans to commission a new photovoltaic power plant at Natal International Airport in the state of Rio Grande do Norte in the second half of this year, further expanding the use of solar energy across its airport network in Brazil.

Meanwhile, the expansion of solar power generation at Brazilian airports is progressing in tandem with advances in the application of energy storage systems. Recently, the National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC) approved new regulations allowing the installation of photovoltaic systems connected to battery systems at Brazilian airports, and specifically authorized the use of solar energy and batteries in airport navigational aid lighting. This measure will provide conditions for airport operators to expand energy autonomy, reduce dependence on the power grid, and improve operational safety in the event of power outages.
