Northwest Bergen County Utilities Authority |
|
|
| Type of Customer: |
Northwest Bergen County Utilities Authority is a municipal wastewater treatment facility that serves approximately 75,000 people and has a permitted capacity of 16.8 million gallons per day. |
|
|
| Project Location: |
Waldwick, NJ |
|
|
| System Size: |
334.15 kW |
|
|
| Completion Date: |
October 2009 |
|
|
| Vanguard's Role: |
Turn Key Design, Engineering and Construction |
|
|
| Type of Financing: |
Project financing provided by Clean Renewable Energy Bonds
(CREB's) and received a New Jersey Clean Energy Program CORE
Rebate. |
|
|
| Technology Used: |
DC photovoltaic (PV) system using Sharp 216w modules and Xantrex inverters. |
|
|
| Implementation Highlights: |
Challenged with limited roof space, Vanguard Energy Partners designed a canopy structure over the plant's aeration tanks. When operating at full output, the PV system will provide nearly 40 percent of the wastewater treatment plant's electricity needs. The estimated first year production is approximately 364,742 kWh of energy, which is equivalent to the avoided emissions of 577,489 lbs. of
CO2. This is comparable to taking 48 cars off
of the road or conserving 29,733 gallons of
gasoline or conserving 609 barrels of oil
annually.
