Increasing population means increased water usage and resulting wastewater; the treatment of which is an energy-intensive business.<\/p>\n<p>A PV facility for the plant has been in the works for a while, with it mentioned by North East Water back in 2017. When originally envisaged, the clean power station was to be 2MW.<\/p>\n<p>The sewage treatment plant at West Wodonga accounts for 25% of the corporation\u2019s total energy consumption and the use of solar power won&#8217;t just reduce its carbon emissions by an estimated 28%, but also put a significant dent in North East&#8217;s energy costs. Surplus electricity generated will be exported to the grid to help offset energy usage at other water facilities across the north-east.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe currently source around 20% of our electricity from wind generated power from Ararat,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/newater.com.au\/about-us\/news-media\/solar-farm-to-power-wodonga-sewage-treatment-plant\">said<\/a> North East Water Managing Director Craig Heiner. \u201cWhen the solar farm comes online, 50% of the Corporation\u2019s total daytime power consumption will come from green energy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Approximately 10,000 solar panels will be installed for the project, which will also use single axis tracking systems to increase solar electricity output.<\/p>\n<p>North East Water say tenders will be issued in the coming months for the multi-million dollar project, which is to be constructed on Corporation owned land between Old Barnawartha Road and the Hume Highway at West Wodonga. It&#8217;s expected construction of the facility will start late this year and will take an estimated 18 months to complete.<\/p>\n<p>North East water has committed to reducing its carbon emissions 42% within six years and pledged to achieve net-zero emissions before 2050.<\/p>\n<h2>Wodonga Council LGA&#8217;s Biggest Solar Farm?<\/h2>\n<p>This could also be the largest operating solar farm in the Wodonga Council local government area if North East gets a wriggle on &#8211; but perhaps for only a short time.<\/p>\n<p>The Australian Photovoltaic Institute (APVI) notes three &#8220;large scale&#8221; solar facilities in the region, but all below 200kW. However, there is another in the works that would eclipse North East Water&#8217;s by quite a margin should it go ahead &#8211; Wodonga SOL 1. Current status of the 54W(AC) project is unknown.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, the Wodonga treatment plant project will certainly give a big boost to the LGA&#8217;s total solar capacity. <a href=\"https:\/\/pv-map.apvi.org.au\/historical#9\/-36.2553\/146.8460\">APVI indicates<\/a> an estimated total installed PV capacity of 16.9MW as at March this year; with the vast majority of that being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/solar101.html\">solar power<\/a> systems below 10kW capacity (12.7MW represented by 3,559 systems).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The construction of a 3MW solar farm to help power Wodonga\u2019s sewage treatment plant should commence this year according to North East Water.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":32367,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32366","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solar-battery-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.5 (Yoast SEO v28.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Solar Power For Wodonga\u2019s Sewage Treatment Plant - SolarQuotes Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The construction of a 3MW solar farm to help power Wodonga\u2019s sewage treatment plant should commence this year according to North East Water.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/solar-wodonga-water-mb1152\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Solar Power For Wodonga\u2019s Sewage Treatment Plant\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The construction of a 3MW solar farm to help power Wodonga\u2019s sewage treatment plant should commence this year according to North East Water.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/solar-wodonga-water-mb1152\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SolarQuotes Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SolarQuotes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-07-29T20:08:41+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/wodonga-solar-water.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"639\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Michael Bloch\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/solar-wodonga-water-mb1152\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/solar-wodonga-water-mb1152\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Michael Bloch\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/66afd571aa00c2e442f0192ebac2f6f1\"},\"headline\":\"Solar Power For Wodonga\u2019s Sewage Treatment Plant\",\"datePublished\":\"2019-07-29T20:08:41+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/solar-wodonga-water-mb1152\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":466,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/solar-wodonga-water-mb1152\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.solarquotes.com.au\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2019\\\/07\\\/wodonga-solar-water.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"General Solar &amp;
