Schneider Electric Secures $1.6 Million Grant for City of El Centro Wastewater Improvement Project

Energy and sustainability expert Schneider Electric today announced it has secured a $1.6 million grant to help fund a facility improvement project at the El Centro Wastewater Treatment Plant in Imperial County, California. The grant from the California State Water Resources Control Board will be used to install operational and energy efficiency improvements at the city’s wastewater plant, specifically in the aeration process. The project will reduce energy consumption in the plant’s aeration process by 29 percent by installing high efficiency turbo blowers and implementing dissolved oxygen control. We are incredibly grateful for this grant that will enable us to reach new levels of wastewater innovation without burdening our local taxpayers.” Construction is currently underway and is scheduled to be complete by summer 2019. In our global Ecosystem, we collaborate with the largest Partner, Integrator and Developer Community on our Open Platform to deliver real-time control and operational efficiency.
