France's Thales (TCFP.PA), opens new tab is set to open the world's first air traffic control station fully powered by renewable energy in Chile's Atacama desert in April, and is keen to develop similar solar projects in other areas with no power grid, a top executive said. The station in Chile's northern town of Calama will be used by the country's civil aviation authority DGAC, powered by 340 solar panels and adjacent batteries placed under Calama's abundant sunlight. The radars use around 1 megawatt of power per hour.
