Project Overview
Emtec Energy was selected by Scottish Water Horizons to deliver a landmark renewable energy project at the Howden Water Treatment Works in Selkirk. This installation represents Scottish Water’s first integration of solar power with battery storage at a water treatment facility, setting a new sustainability benchmark within the sector.
The project features a 1.2MW ground-mounted solar PV system paired with a 1.8MWh DC-coupled battery energy storage system (BESS), including 2,112 solar panels and four Solinteg inverters. Designed to optimise energy generation and storage efficiency, the system helps Scottish Water reduce operational costs while significantly lowering its carbon footprint.
