Anaergia Technologies secures contract for San Diego waste-to-energy facility

Anaergia Technologies has been awarded a $31.19 million (C$43.8 million) design-build contract by the East County Advanced Water Purification Joint Powers Authority (“JPA”) in San Diego, California.

This agreement extends Anaergia’s partnership with the JPA and will see the Company design, construct, commission and start-up a turnkey, state-of-the-art renewable power generation facility that converts organic waste into renewable energy. Leveraging Anaergia’s high-efficiency anaerobic digestion and combined heat and power technologies, the system will generate electricity from biogas produced on-site. This enhances the JPA’s energy resiliency and enables reduced cost operations.

Construction of this facility is expected to be completed within two years, further advancing JPA’s mission to deliver a renewable water supply while minimizing costs to its rate payers.

“This project will serve our ratepayers by reducing our operating costs and enhancing energy resiliency of critical high-quality water infrastructure confronted with rising power costs,” said Kyle Swanson, CEO/General Manager of Padre Dam Municipal Water District that manages the East County Advanced Water Purification Plant. “We are pleased to continue our successful partnership with Anaergia in delivering both economic and environmental benefits for our community.”

Assaf Onn, CEO of Anaergia, said, “This new contract underscores the strength of our collaboration with the JPA and demonstrates how Anaergia’s integrated technologies deliver lasting value for essential infrastructure projects. It is another powerful example of how our solutions are helping customers decarbonize operations, advance their clean energy transition objectives and strengthen energy independence.”

Earlier this month, Anaergia entered into a joint venture (JV) with construction companies Tozzi Sud and Isolmec Group to build a new anaerobic digestion facility for BioHold in Basilicata, southern Italy having a total contract value of about C$22 million.
