SAN ANTONIO - The San Antonio International Airport hopes to make big strides in the future of flying, including electric planes.

San Antonio International Airport is becoming the first international airport to collaborate with the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) on groundbreaking technologies.

This innovative partnership signifies a shared commitment to developing and deploying cutting-edge energy solutions that will decarbonize the aviation sector.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will be signed by representatives from the City of San Antonio Aviation Department, ARPA-E, The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), and CPS Energy.

The MOU outlines a collaborative effort to explore advancements in sustainable aviation, battery technology, innovative battery storage, enhanced electric vehicle (EV) charging, and power demand management.

The public and media are invited to witness the signing ceremony and explore a showcase of ARPA-E-funded projects with the potential to revolutionize electrified airports.

UTSA and CPS Energy will also share their ongoing research, which leverages a city-scale grid, digital twin. This digital replica allows for evaluating operational efficacy, ensuring seamless interoperability, fortifying cybersecurity protocols, and assessing performance metrics of electric/hybrid aircraft.

This collaborative effort holds immense potential to revolutionize the industry and create a more sustainable tomorrow.
