A £636,000 solar project at Gorbals Water Pumping Station has been completed, introducing 793 roof and ground mounted solar panels to the site ☀️ The panels are expected to generate 0.39GWh of energy each year and meet almost 17% of the site's power needs... That's the same as boiling 1.7 million kettles! Clean energy is helping Scottish Water meet our 2040 net zero targets, and at Gorbals Water Pumping Station alone, the new solar panels will save 78 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent annually Read about all the details here 👉 https://lnkd.in/e8MW4ac4

We're going deeper underground! You don’t see this every day. Footage shot during a major Scottish Water operation in #Edinburgh has provided a rare glimpse of an impressive underground giant vital in keeping the city’s waste water system operating. The nine-tonne screw pump was lowered into a deep chamber as part of our multi-million pound investment at McDonald Road Waste Water Pumping Station. The pumping station uses enormous Archimedean screw pumps to move millions of litres of waste water across the capital. It has been in operation for over 50 years and to ensure the continued efficiency and reliability of the city’s sewer network, the site is undergoing major refurbishment, delivering improvements for the benefit of the environment and customers for years to come.
