Overview
- Viridi installed a 150 kWh RPSLink battery energy storage system at Erie County Sewer District No. 2 in Hamburg, replacing an outdated diesel generator.
- The company reports 32–90 hours of backup capability based on pump demand, providing near-instant power during outages.
- Erie County engineers say the switch should eliminate fuel dependency, cut maintenance needs, and improve reliability for critical wastewater operations.
- The system includes real-time remote monitoring and automated alerts intended to reduce site visits and speed issue detection.
- Officials and Viridi frame the pilot as a regional model for nearly 100 similar pump stations, with diesel upkeep previously estimated at $5,000–$10,000 per unit annually.
