This New York pump station ditched diesel for battery backup
A New York wastewater station replaced its diesel generator with battery backup, cutting maintenance costs, fuel use, and emissions.
For years, wastewater pumping stations relied on diesel generators expensive to maintain, fuel-dependent, rarely used until an outage strikes, and unreliable when needed most. Michelle Lewis reports in Electrek.co, Erie County Sewer District No. 2 replaced diesel with a 150 kWh Viridi RPSLink BESS.
