Celebrating Rhea’s Contributions to Pittsburgh International Airport’s Microgrid
Two years ago, Pittsburgh International Airport made serious waves in the aviation industry by establishing its own electrical microgrid. Rhea has been a partner in this development since the very beginning.
The move was intended to lower costs, improve energy resiliency, and to improve the PIT’s environmental sustainability. Two years in, the microgrid has been a resounding success, completely powering the the airport’s operations through on-site natural gas-fired generators and solar panels. Other airports have taken notice and plan to develop their own microgrids. You can read more about the current state of the PIT Microgrid on PIT’s Blue Sky News.
Rhea is thrilled to be one of PIT’s small business partners as they continue their journey to a sustainable future. Read more about our work for the aviation industry here.
