With rising energy costs and the worsening climate crisis, some wastewater treatment plants have started using solar energy. Because solar adoption at wastewater treatment plants is still relatively new, there is little known about these facilities, including where they are, what drove them to choose solar, and if solar has been a success.
So in some cases, wastewater treatment facilities are— the municipalities are installing the solar on site and directly consuming that electricity. And many other scenarios, the municipality is entering what's called a power purchase agreement with a solar developer.
The MOBIPOWER is the silent solution for your remote power needs at construction job sites, off-grid camps, or other applications. Whereas, diesel generators require with fuel and are noisy, this mobile power station uses solar energy with no noise pollution.
In California, a public entity can procure a solar system from a sole source according to Government Code 4217. This approach offers several advantages: faster project completion, which results in quicker realization of savings value, and avoidance of possible loss of available incentives, even without running the RFP process and obtaining a competitive quote.
The transition to solar energy presents a practical and sustainable solution for WWTPs to reduce their dependence on grid electricity, cut operational costs, and improve the resilience of their critical
