Better water management and renewable energy production

ongoing

The "Nexus North" project combines an innovative approach to investment in the water and renewable energy sectors. This project is part of the joint strategy with the European Union to help provide equitable and sustainable access to drinking water, sanitation and energy services. The water and sanitation element of the Nexus North project includes the expansion and improvement of drinking water networks, inter alia, construction of new reservoirs, and connections to the sewerage network.  A hybrid renewable energy system (two wind turbines and small solar power plants with a capacity of 3.7 MW) will be designed to operate synchronously with the drinking water network, the wells and pumping stations of which are energy intensive. Substantial savings will thus be achieved in service management.Finally, emphasis will be placed on strengthening the capacities of the two intermunicipal water and sanitation management unions, the contracting authority.
