8% of every dollar you invest in EBMUD goes toward the operation and engineering for transport and treatment of facilities that serve more than 600,000 residents; educational outreach on pollution prevention and stormwater infiltration.
In 2016, onsite power generation at EBMUD's Wastewater Plant provided 145% of the plant's energy needs, and we sold the surplus for $1.2 million. At Pardee and Camanche reservoirs, EBMUD generated more than 120,000 megawatt hours of clean hydropower, which we sold for $4.3 million. And we're generating more than 1,800 megawatt hours of photovoltaic power a year.
