Description
Description | Yeager Airport officials are exploring a project to make the airport the first in the nation to run entirely on electricity generated from solar panels. The project involves placing solar panels atop the parking garage closest to the airport terminal and in the airfield near the runway. The project cost is $15.3 million and funding would come from the Federal Aviation Administration, which is reviewing the project to ensure it does not negatively impact air operations. The project aims to eliminate the airport's annual $450,000 electricity bill and could be scaled back if needed. |
