The CMSA Power Delivery Program is a comprehensive multi-year effort that began in the early 2000s and includes numerous individual engineering projects with the overall goal of leveraging CMSA’s existing wastewater infrastructure to maximize the amount of renewable power produced from wastewater and other external organic feedstocks. The Program also provides the flexibility for CMSA to sell excess renewable power into the grid. In 2018, the Program reached several significant milestones including execution of a Power Purchase Agreement with Marin Clean Energy for excess power sales into the grid, and construction and testing of PG&E interconnection infrastructure to allow exporting excess power.
