Three years of solar O&M completed at the Buriej and Sheikh Ajleen treatment plants

In August 2023 MACC completed three years of operation and maintenance of the 4.7 MWp solar PV plants it built at the Buriej and Sheikh Ajleen wastewater treatment plants under Contract 4 for CMWU.

In August 2023 MACC completed the three-year operation and maintenance period of the two grid-connected solar PV plants it built at the Buriej and Sheikh Ajleen wastewater treatment plants, closing Contract 4 of the KfW-funded Gaza Central Wastewater Project for CMWU. Operation began in August 2020 and included annual performance reporting.

The two ground-mounted plants total 4.7 MWp: about 9,450 Risen 375 Wp modules and 50 Huawei 60 kW string inverters at Buriej, and 3,207 modules and 17 inverters at Sheikh Ajleen, connected at 22 kV. Fuel-save controllers synchronise the PV with the GEDCO grid and each site's diesel and biogas generators, cutting the treatment plants' fuel use.

In their first year the plants produced 5,938 MWh at Buriej and 2,037 MWh at Sheikh Ajleen, with performance ratios of 94.5% and 92.2%. MACC carried out the civil works, procurement, electromechanical installation and commissioning under the supervision of Dorsch International Consultants.
