In December 2015, Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) completed work on Minnesota’s largest solar generation site. Located on the top decks of two parking structures at Terminal 1-Lindbergh, the power generated by this 3-megawatt system will go directly to the Terminal 1 complex.
The project also included converting more than 7,700 metal halide light fixtures in all four parking ramps to energy-saving LED technology. Four additional electric vehicle charging stations were also installed in the ramps as part of the project, bringing the total number of charging stations to 18.
Ameresco, a leading energy efficiency and renewable energy company, developed the solar infrastructure and LED lighting upgrade. Ameresco also will maintain and operate the system on behalf of the Metropolitan Airports Commission.
