Description
Description | The city of Pendleton has installed a solar canopy at its wastewater treatment plant, designed to cover about one-third of the plant's energy needs. The canopy generates solar power for the energy-intensive wastewater treatment process and provides shade to reduce algae growth in the chlorine chamber, allowing for less chlorine use. The project is part of a larger plan to connect the plant to a microgrid with battery storage to achieve energy self-sufficiency and reduce costs. |
