Ewing, N.J., February 21, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE)

On February 21, 2008 members of the WorldWater & Solar Technolgies team and airport staff celebrated the official groundbreaking for the installation of a 2 MW solar system at Denver International Airport (DIA). The project is being engineered and constructed by WorldWater and will be operated by the City and County of Denver. DIA is the fifth busiest international airport in the U.S. and served nearly 50 million passengers in 2006. WorldWater's photovoltaic system of ground mounted tracking solar arrays will be located at the entrance to the main terminal. It is expected to generate 3.5 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean electricity annually. In addition to reducing DIA's electric costs, the solar initiative supports Denver's commitment to environmental sustainability. Annually, the array will avoid pumping over five million pounds of carbon emissions into the atmosphere.
