Eaton was awarded a contract to help AEP Ohio enhance the resilience and sustainability of critical water infrastructure in Columbus, Ohio, at the Tussing Water Booster Station.
The project will establish the city’s first renewable energy microgrid and extend Columbus’ ability to deliver safe and clean water during extended electric grid outages. The microgrid project is fully commissioned and expected to be energized in first quarter 2023.
“This microgrid project is an important precedent that demonstrates how climate-friendly technologies can be applied to modernize critical infrastructure while improving people’s lives, the environment and the bottom line,” said Igor Stamenkovic, vice president and general manager for Eaton’s electrical engineering services and systems division.
Partially funded through AEP Ohio’s Smart City program, the project shows how microgrids can deliver more affordable, sustainable and resilient energy for critical infra
