Turning Wastewater Treatment Plants into Flexible, Revenue Generating Assets
Delprosa helps water utilities and industrial plant operators unlock value from the wholesale electricity market. Using spot price forecasting and pump scheduling, we identify and quantify the revenue available from shifting flexible load to the NEM, without compromising treatment performance or compliance.
