ANDERSON, Calif. — The city of Anderson has completed a 757-kilowatt solar array project at its wastewater treatment plant. The panels, installed by Schneider Electric, are expected to generate more than $7.5 million in guaranteed energy savings over the next 20 years.
“Our wastewater treatment plant is one of the most energy-intensive facilities we operate. With rising energy costs, it became clear we needed smarter, more sustainable solutions,” said Adam Whelen, the city’s public works director.
The city has obtained grandfathered status under PG&E’s Net Energy Metering 2.0 program, ensuring favorable solar credit rates for years to come.
