Pendleton Wastewater Facility’s Innovative Solar Canopy
\n
Cleanlight is thrilled about the completion of a 240-kW solar canopy for the Pendleton Wastewater Treatment and Resource Recovery Facility (WWTRRF) in Oregon. This project exemplifies the integration of clean energy solutions into critical infrastructure, showcasing the potential for significant operational improvements.
\n
The solar canopy, developed by Ameresco, aims to generate 325,000 kWh of electricity annually, offsetting about 30% of the WWTRRF’s total energy consumption. Such initiatives are crucial in reducing the carbon footprint of essential public services and ensuring sustainability.
\n
Cleanlight believes this project is a beacon for other waste treatment facilities. By installing solar canopies, these facilities can drastically cut energy costs and improve environmental sustainability. This not only offers an economical advantage but also aligns with the global push toward cleaner energy sources.
\n
Moreover, this project highlights the synergy between modern technology and environmental stewardship. Solar canopies provide a practical and efficient solution for facilities that require constant power. They offer a two-fold benefit of generating clean energy while also providing shade and protection to underlying infrastructure.
