Fiji Airports, which operates Nadi Airport is collaborating with ITP Renewables Australia to build a solar farm project.
The contract between the two companies covers consultancy services enabling ITP to start designing the solar farm, with the airport operator wanting to be a leader in the aviation sector in Fiji and the region.
“This contract with ITP is obviously the first stage to realising our dream of having an initial 3.5 megawatts of clean power here within the compound in the form of a solar farm,” said Fiji Airports CEO, Mesake Nawari.
He added that this project will elevate Fiji Airports to the same level as other international hubs. “It is also a good learning experience for us to share with the neighbouring airports in the Blue Pacific, as they aspire to become more sustainable.”
With the operator underlining its commitment to be net zero by 2050, Nawari also commented that the solar farm is no longer a dream, it is a reality! “Our commitment to a net zero carbon footprint puts us in the forefront as a trailblazing airport in the global green airport zero carbon emissions space.
“We are delighted to partner with ITP Renewable Australia in this project and especially as the provider of renewable energy consulting services throughout Australia and Oceania, including engineering, strategy and compliance and energy sector analytics within the aviation industry.”
