Sustainable energy
At Welsh Water we are always looking of ways to save energy and to obtain energy from renewable sources.
Here are some interesting facts on the topic:
We produce electricity equivalent to powering 25,000 - 30,000 homes.
We have around 70 renewable assets.
In 2020-21 we self-generated around 23% of our energy needs.
Our assets include hydro, solar, wind, and combined heat and power.
Did you know that some of our wastewater treatment works generate electricity from the sludge that we remove from the waste water. In schools, this is often referred to as poo power!
