Denver Airport Dedicates Solar Array Ahead Of DNC

 Section: Democratic National Convention Section
DENVER (AP) ― Denver International Airport's sprawling new solar power system was dedicated Tuesday amid preparations for the Democratic National Convention.

Delegates flying into Denver can't miss it: the 9,200 panels cover 7 1/2 acres beside the main highway to and from the airport terminal.

The photovoltaic system will generate over 3 million kilowatt hours of electricity a year. City officials say that will reduce carbon emissions by more than 6.3 million pounds a year.
