LONDON — The commercial arm of the Center for Renewable Energy Development (CDER) has been shortlisted for the final of Britain’s The Energy Awards 2023 competition, the center said in a statement.
The subsidiary Studies and achievements in renewable energies “ER2”, participates in this prestigious competition in the category “Energy project of the year”, with the photovoltaic installation project on roof at the international airport “Ahmed Ben Bella” (Oran), according to the same source.
It is “the largest installation of this type in Africa and one of the rare examples in the world where solar energy has been used as the main source of energy for an airport”, underlines the CDER.
Enabling “Ahmed Ben Bella” International Airport to reduce carbon emissions and become more self-sufficient, this project will support Algeria’s ambition to achieve 15,000 MW of renewable energy by 2030, he said. we.
The installation includes 5,362 solar panels, 12 km of solar cables, 46 inverters, in order to produce 2.2 GWh of clean and renewable energy each year, a production equivalent to supplying more than 500 homes with clean energy.
This plant should save 1,400 tonnes of CO2 each year, the equivalent of the pollution emitted by 600 vehicles, and will cover on average more than 40% of the terminal’s consumption, explains the press release, adding that the project can even reach 100 % at the time of production peaks.
It should be noted that this plant was built in just five months to meet the energy needs of the terminal.
The 14th annual Energy Awards celebrates the energy sector’s innovations and achievements in best practices, business excellence, customer service and industry collaboration and brings together more than 600 key decision makers from across the sector.
The winners of the Energy Awards 2023 will be announced on October 4, 2023 at the Grosvenor in London, UK.
