Kochi: Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL), which generates 4,400 units of solar power a day, recently pulled off a green energy feat by generating eight units of power from moon light.
It happened on a recent full moon night and showed that moonlight was good enough to generate power given the right conditions, said a CIAL official during a presentation on the airport company’s ambitious solar energy and energy conservation programmes.
Though the feat has not been repeated frequently, the moon power act is a big boost to the airport company’s efforts to achieve energy neutrality by early 2016.
CIAL and the BSNL telephone exchange at Boat Jetty in the city are among the institutions in the district that have invested significantly in energy efficiency and are the winners of the State and National Energy Conservation Award 2013 respectively.
