Solar Power To Gild The Wastewater Treatment Lily
If all goes according to plan, one wastewater treatment plant in California will demonstrate a solar power and energy efficiency model for others to follow.The Intertubes have been buzzing with news about a soup-to-nuts sustainability makeover for a wastewater treatment plant in California, but why? The all-inclusive work features an on-site solar power plant of 1.1 megawatts, which sounds like small potatoes. Also, wastewater treatment is not particularly exciting compared to electric vehicles.
That’s a big leap over ENGIE’s total US investment in renewable energy capacity in the US to date, which stood at a mere 3.9 GW as of last summer.ENGIE’s wastewater treatment project involves the public utility West County Wastewater District of Richmond, California. It is anticipating a savings of more than $83 million over the life of the project, whileIt’s worth noting that the wastewater treatment plant in question is no mere wastewater treatment plant.
That has been a major sticking point for WCW’s treatment plant. To date, its biosolids have not qualified for recycling. Instead, WCW has been shouldering the cost of landfill disposal. He’s not kidding around. If all goes according to plan, the upgrade will showcase how cash-strapped local utilities can upgrade their treatment plants without shelling out the big bucks up front, and even cut costs in the long run.
