The Bowling Green – Warren County Regional Airport is one of four airports that will be getting more environmentally friendly ground support equipment.
The Tennessee Valley Authority says it is joining forces with the airports and FedEx to replace some of their diesel-powered ground support equipment with the new gear.
The Bowling Green facility is the only one in Kentucky to receive TVA cash incentives based on the type and amount of equipment purchased.
TVA says more than 55 pieces of diesel-powered gate equipment will be replaced over the next few months with no emission, all-electric equipment. TVA says the move will help reduce fossil fuel consumption and emissions within the Tennessee Valley region.
TVA provides electricity for business customers and local power distributors in seven southeastern states.
