PV system for Mönchengladbach Airport

As part of its commitment to sustainable aviation, Mönchengladbach Airport is relying on solar self-sufficiency and making the energy transition visible to everyone through the CUBE Vision monitoring system in the terminal. Learn how this groundbreaking project is reducing operating costs and future-proofing MGL’s infrastructure.

On Mönchengladbach Airport is the Airport company has been active as an operating company since 1956 and manages around 22,000 m² of usable building space. In addition to numerous players in the aviation industry, these include service providers, service and maintenance companies, suppliers, the Federal Police and companies from other sectors of the economy.

In addition to the "SkyCab" research project for CO₂-neutral drives, the PV system from CUBE CONCEPTS is an important component of the "climate-neutral flying" project at Mönchengladbach Airport. The low-cost green electricity is used to charge vehicles on the tarmac and cover around 20 % of MGL's total electricity requirements.

Self-consumption is 99% and the PV system saves 67,570kg of CO₂ per year. In addition, the current electricity production can be CUBE Vision can be read directly in the airport terminal.

On course for a sustainable future at MGL Airport

The photovoltaic system on the airport hangar is a key component of the "climate-neutral flying" project. The PV system supplies green electricity for a wide range of applications on the airport premises, which is used to charge vehicles on the tarmac, among other things. CUBE CONCEPTS would also like to thank the client, Mönchengladbach Airport, for the trustful cooperation. Thanks also go to the business partners for their support on the joint path to a sustainable future of flying.
