Montevideo, Aug 8 (Prensa Latina) Uruguay's Carrasco International Airport has become the first in Latin America to have a modern 0.5 megawatt photovoltaic solar generation system.
The solar plant demanded an investment of 5 million dollars of private capital, and in its first stage, it occupies an area of one hectare at the entrance of the terminal and has 1,540 photovoltaic panels.
With this installation, there were more than 90 microgeneration power plants in the small South American country, which only has a photovoltaic solar energy capacity of 200 megawatts, the authorities announced.
