Lorraine Airport Reduced to Single Weekly Flight Amid Pandemic, Plans Solar Project

TUI fly operates this flight from Lorraine Airport to Mohammed V Airport in Casablanca. Pending a relaunch of activity at this French airport, the time has come to implement a project. This is the future installation of a photovoltaic park covering the entire Lorraine Airport parking lot. On Friday, this project was submitted to a vote during the permanent commission, reports L’Est Républicain.

With a capacity of 6.6 MWp, this installation will allow an annual production of 7,450 MWh per year, which represents the annual electricity consumption of 2,900 inhabitants. With this project, the Metz-Nancy-Lorraine Public Establishment (EPMNL) has the guarantee of a rent of 60,000 euros per year for a minimum period of 30 years. Enough to relieve the equipment in these times of Covid-19. "It is a positive signal and proof that we are not inactive in supporting this airport," says Brigitte Torloting, regional councilor, mayor of Louvigny and president of the EPMNL.
