General Session II
Airport Electrification:  Are You Already
Behind the Power Curve?

A discussion on the overall impacts that air and ground-based vehicle electrification will have on your airport's electrical infrastructure. Airport electrification will tax the airport's electrical infrastructure far beyond any previous industry change and airports who have not prepared for the future will either be forced to rush to accommodate users or will miss opportunities entirely.
