Anaergia Inc. (TSX: ANRG), through its subsidiary Anaergia Technologies, LLC, has expanded its long-term support contract with East Valley Water District (EVWD). Under the amended agreement, Anaergia will now provide Operations and Maintenance (O&M) services for food waste procurement, processing, and power generation at EVWD’s Sterling Natural Resource Center (SNRC) in Highland, California.
SNRC is a cutting-edge wastewater treatment facility that recovers clean water, energy, and nutrients from wastewater, utilizing advanced technologies like Anaergia’s Omnivore™ Anaerobic Digestion system and AMR for nitrogen recovery, which were implemented under a Design-Build contract in 2022. The facility has received multiple awards, including the Clair A. Hill Water Agency Award for Excellence in May 2024, the Design Excellence award from the Western Region of DBIA in June 2024, and the Outstanding Capital Project award from the California Association of Sanitation Agencies in July 2024.
The SNRC currently processes up to 8 million gallons of wastewater and 130,000 gallons of organic waste daily, generating 3 MW of renewable power and clean water for groundwater replenishment. The expanded O&M services under this agreement are expected to generate approximately C$4 million annually for Anaergia.
This is Anaergia’s eighth O&M contract in the United States, most of which are in Southern California, making the company a leading operator of digestion and co-digestion infrastructure in the region. The expanded contract aligns with Anaergia’s capital-light strategy, ensuring long-term revenue and reinforcing its role as a significant partner to wastewater utilities.
Michael Moore, EVWD General Manager/CEO, praised the partnership, saying, “The SNRC is a testament to our commitment to using advanced technology to turn waste into renewable energy. We’re pleased to continue working with Anaergia to maximize community benefits through sustainable solutions.”
Anaergia CEO Assaf Onn added, “This agreement strengthens our collaboration with EVWD and supports their sustainability goals. We’re proud to help accelerate the clean energy transition by transforming waste into valuable resources.”
