Pacific Power Upgrades Alabama Wastewater Treatment Plant

Pacific Power Renewables has installed a 690kV solar array on a wastewater treatment plant in Auburn City in the US state of Alabama.

The solar array will use clean and renewable solar power to run the facility, which began operations earlier this year.

The upgraded wastewater treatment plant includes ultraviolet light disinfection technology to meet new permit requirements.

The solar array is expected to generate 1.2 million kilowatt-hours annually to power the UV system.

The US-based Pacific Power will own, operate and maintain the system under a lease agreement with the city, according to Sacramento Business Journal.
