Pennsylvania wastewater treatment plant currently powered by 3-MW solar project
- SolRiver Capital, a nationwide solar mutual fund, announced the conclusion of a 3 MWAC utility-scale solar energy project that supplies clean power to the Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County (MAWC).
The MAWC solar project was just one of the very first projects to be completed under the modified digital net aggregated metering program accredited by the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission, enabling customers to balance out on-site consumption through solar PV electrical power produced on neighboring land had or rented by the same client.
"We wish to offset a few of the energy demands of our largest wastewater treatment plant through this solar project. While this environment-friendly energy plant is beneficial to the environment, it will certainly likewise make our plant a lot more durable to electric supply problems, and also lock in electrical prices that will certainly conserve the authority as well as its consumers cash," said Michael F. Kukura, resident manager with the Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County.
The project with MAWC is SolRiver Capital's initial solar project to come online in Pennsylvania.
"The Municipal Authority of Westmoreland County has actually been an exceptional partner in bringing this project to fruition. We're enjoyed see the power generated from this center cover almost all on-site electrical energy need for MAWC's Hunker wastewater treatment center," claimed Brandon Conard, companion at SolRiver Capital.
