Biju Patnaik International Airport has always taken progressive steps towards Environmental Protection and Energy Conservation. 100 kw solar power plant is already in operations and taxi way lights has been changed from conventional lights to LED based lights to save energy.
The terminal building is designed with several north light windows providing natural light whole day thereby reducing the requirement of artificial lighting, this saves lot of energy as well users feel comfortable in the natural light. One 5 MW solar power plant is also likely to be established next year which will meet all energy requirement of the Airport by using clean energy. AAI has thanked of his stake-holders in supporting the Energy Conservation methods in operation of this airport.
