A European-based company is proposing to build a solar farm bigger than 300 CFL football fields at Edmonton's international airport. Edmonton International Airport and Alpin Sun are working on an agreement that will see the company develop Airport City Solar, a 627-acre, 120-megawatt solar farm on what is now a canola field on the west side of the airport lands. The solar farm will be the largest at an airport anywhere in the world, EIA said in a news release Tuesday. Airport official Myron Keehn says the field behind him will become home to the world's largest solar farm at an airport. Power generated by Airport City Solar will feed into Fortis Alberta and airport distribution systems.
