Chattanooga Airport: First To Achieve 100 Percent Sustainability Milestone

July 17, 2019

The Chattanooga Airport, along with elected officials, TVA, EPB, and community leaders, recently celebrated completion of the final phase of its solar farm, located along Jubilee Drive. The 2.64-megawatt solar farm generates renewable energy, which is sold through partnership with TVA and EPB. The power generated is equal to the airport’s total energy needs. The Chattanooga Airport is the only airport in the nation to achieve this renewable energy goal.
