Squadron Energy to work with Dubbo Regional Council to ensure local water security

Squadron Energy, Australia’s leading renewable energy company, and Dubbo Regional Council plan to deliver water security to the region through a public private partnership to build a new advanced wastewater treatment facility at Dubbo Sewerage Treatment Plant.

The energy developer and Council have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in a move which will allow work to progress to the next stage.

Squadron Energy plans to fund the advanced wastewater treatment facility capable of treating up to 700 megalitres of water per year.

Squadron Energy Chairman Jason Willoughby said the commitment was part of plans to ensure the community receives wide ranging benefits from renewable energy development.

“ We are working to ensure we create legacy infrastructure for the wider community as part of our commitment to benefit sharing and we’re pleased to be working with Dubbo Regional Council on this project."

“It’s a great example of how renewable energy companies and local councils can work together to deliver long-term benefits for an entire community, not just those located to nearby projects.

“I’m proud we’re able to contribute to water security for the region through this public private partnership,” Mr Willoughby said.
