June 24, 2026: Zoom Webinar
Workshop presented by California Rural Water Association Workforce Development. Information about this webinar-based course:
California Rural Water Association (CRWA) in conjunction with Coldwell Energy, is proud to be able to bring you a How Rural Water Utilities are Leveraging Onsite Renewable Energy class.
Rural water and wastewater utilities are under pressure to modernize infrastructure, reduce costs, and meet evolving sustainability and regulatory demands—while maintaining reliable service. Energy-intensive facilities like treatment plants and pump stations are a major part of this challenge.
In this 1-hour Lunch & Learn, Coldwell Energy and the California Rural Water Association will discuss how utilities can reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions, improve resilience, and lower energy costs through solutions like solar PV, battery storage, EV charging, and efficient lighting.
The session includes real-world case studies from Sycamore, Lone Tree, and Golden Hills water districts, showcasing cost savings, improved reliability, and practical implementation strategies.
Class Topics Include:
- Scope 1 & 2 emissions and why they matter
- Energy strategy for compliance and long-term planning
- Solar, storage, and EV infrastructure benefits
- Lighting upgrades and quick-return savings
- A wide range of knowledge for wastewater operators, and practice exams. This format helps operators brush up on the many aspects of the water treatment systems and assists students with test-taking skills.
- Lessons learned from successful projects
Schedule: 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
