Stafford Hill Emergency Shelters Case Study
Stafford Hill Emergency Shelters Case Study
Technologies: Solar PV and Battery Energy Storage
The Stafford Hill Solar Farm and Microgrid project in Rutland, Vermont, demonstrates how solar PV and battery storage can provide cost savings and resilient backup power for emergency shelters. The project includes a 2.5 MW solar array and 4 MW / 3.4 MWh of battery storage. This microgrid not only cuts operating costs and supports renewable energy integration, but also ensures that the nearby Red Cross emergency shelter at Rutland High School can maintain power during grid outages. Notably, in its first year of operation, the project saved customers over $200,000 during a single hour by reducing peak demand, showcasing the significant financial benefits of this innovative system.

Edward J. Schwartz Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse Case Study
Technologies: Solar PV and Battery Energy Storage
Edward J. Schwartz Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse: This building has installed 462 kilowatts of solar photovoltaic systems on carports and rooftops. Additionally, a 750kW / 1,425 kWh lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) was installed to reduce peak demand, optimize utility consumption, and minimize costs. The system has been operational since January 2018 with 99.8% uptime.

SW Wastewater Treatment Plant Case Study
SW Wastewater Treatment Plant Case Study
Technologies: Anaerobic Digester Biogas & Natural Gas CHP
The City of Springfield, MO, implemented a 2.4 MW combined heat and power (CHP) distributed generation system at its Southwest Wastewater Treatment Plant to ensure reliable operations and achieve significant cost savings. This system features two 1.2 MW CAT CG170-12 reciprocating engines and provides on-site power generation. This enhances the 30 million gallons/day avg. (100 MGD peak) facility's resilience by enabling it to maintain critical wastewater treatment services even during grid outages. The CHP system also recovers 8.5 MMBtu/hr of thermal energy for heating the digester and building. Fueled by anaerobic digester biogas and natural gas, the $5.8 million project generates annual savings of approximately $1.0 million. The system began operation in 2019.
