Airport businesses face many challenges today, including unpredictable and rising energy costs, diminishing revenue opportunities, impending climate change regulations, and public opposition to airport expansion projects. HMMH provides assistance to airports interested in addressing these issues through solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation. Solar power is a stable electricity source providing a viable revenue stream for “unusable” airfield property, while avoiding public opposition that other energy sources elicit.
HMMH has specialized skills in both solar PV and airport operations, which are necessary to implement an airport solar strategy. Our services include:
- Serving as an independent advisor to airports on solar opportunities
- Specifying the most cost-effective solar system
- Identifying the appropriate business model (i.e., airport-owned or public-private partnership) based on electricity market and available incentives
- Managing bidding process for installer / private partner
- Advising airports on bid selection
- Overseeing installation and commissioning
HMMH assists airports with siting, feasibility, installation and project management of solar projects.
