This project involved the assessment of the technical and financial feasibility of covering Larnaca Airport’s new terminal’s roof and large external car park with PV panels. The result was presented as a Net Present Value (NPV) calculation spreadsheet to predict the client’s return on investment based on a number of variable parameters (e.g. their level of debt).

As the project progressed, David was invited to Cyprus to present the proposal to the local energy authority (EAC) on one occasion and to the Minister of Commerce, Industry, and Tourism at a later stage. This project was put forward before a formal feed-in-tariff was available in Cyprus, so David’s role was to assist with negotiations with the government to get a feed-in-tariff which would maximise the client’s return on investment.
