With more than 1,000 cancelled flights and an estimated $50 million in losses by Delta alone, the December 2017 power outage at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport emphasized the need for airports to find more reliable ways to power their energy intensive operations.

Microgrids featuring SimpliPhi batteries provide airports with the means to produce, store and distribute power to a single terminal or an entire airport complex, either as its main source of power or as its auxiliary electricity supply in the event the grid goes down.

Our airport uses solar and/or wind energy to offset our operational energy needs. Can SimpliPhi batteries be added to an existing renewable installation?

Our industry is very cautious about lithium ion batteries. Can SimpliPhi batteries be safely installed in an airport?

We want to ensure we have a system capable of providing several days of energy autonomy. Can SimpliPhi deliver that much energy capacity?

Can SimpliPhi help reduce our airport's energy costs?

To power our airport’s expansion, we recently received a quote for trenching new power lines. Does SimpliPhi offer a better alternative?
