Microgrid Solutions for Water

Water is an essential public service, and microgrids help water utilities serve their communities reliably, affordably, and sustainably. By enhancing their electricity supply with the addition of an optimized on-site energy system, typically including solar panels, battery storage, backup generation, and smart controls, microgrids provide water utilities with everyday cost savings and emissions benefits as well as resilient backup power when the grid goes down.

Scale is working with the Santa Margarita Water District to design, finance, build, and operate 12MWh of battery storage systems at their water and wastewater treatment facilities. The projects are designed to increase the resilience of the community’s water supplies while also reducing costs.

The Goleta Water District encompasses an area extending along the south coast of Santa Barbara County west from the Santa Barbara city limits to El Capitan. Scale will integrate battery storage, dispatchable generation, and smart controls with their existing solar energy system.
