Project maximising renewable energy use wins award
The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) has presented the 2022 ICE Northern Ireland Sustainability Award to the Ballykelly Wastewater Treatment Works Upgrade. The winning project cleverly combines state-of-the-art mechanical wastewater treatment processes with the zero-energy concepts of an Integrated Constructed Wetland (ICW) to deliver a high-quality discharge. Designed by NI Water, in collaboration with BSG Civil Engineering and RPS Consulting Engineers, the sustainable solution includes battery storage to maximise the use of onsite renewable energy throughout the year. At 2021 prices, the energy stored onsite will save NI Water £400,000 over 25 years. In addition, the use of renewable energy will prevent the emission of over 41,000kg of CO 2 per year – helping NI Water achieve its carbon-neutral goal by 2050. The project provides a robust long-term solution for Ballykelly village. It also supports local development and offers an area rich in biodiversity the chance to enhance the local land and water environments.
