Stonington Looking to Bring Solar Energy to Sewage Plants

STONINGTON, CT - Stonington officials are looking into solar energy as a possible way to reduce costs at sewage plants, the Westerly Sun reported.

The town is looking to cut costs by putting solar arrays at two of the town’s wastewater treatment plants, according to the Westerly Sun. A Middletown company has already done a study to see whether solar panels would be viable at both plants.

Estimates from the company say the town could save around $870,000 over a 20-year period if it were to install solar arrays at one or both plants, the Westerly Sun reported. The treatment plant in Mystic is too small for any solar arrays.
