OPTERRA Energy Services Named as Finalist for NAESCO Project of the Year Press Release
Water and wastewater utilities operate some of the most energy-intensive, process-critical facilities in the public sector. As operating costs rise, infrastructure ages, and regulatory expectations increase, utilities must keep treatment systems running continuously while maintaining affordability, compliance, and long-term performance.
OPTERRA partners with utilities to modernize treatment facilities through process-driven, performance-based solutions that reduce operating costs, strengthen compliance, and support reliable, uninterrupted operations, without increasing ratepayer burden.
Wastewater treatment facilities operate under constant cost and compliance pressure, with little tolerance for downtime. Energy-intensive processes, aging equipment, and deferred maintenance create compounding operational and financial risk.
OPTERRA helps utilities replace reactive, component-level fixes with process-based modernization strategies that stabilize operating costs, reduce compliance risk, and deliver guaranteed outcomes, without disrupting treatment operations or increasing ratepayer burden.

Biogas
Biogas utilization enables wastewater utilities to convert digester gas into on-site energy or renewable natural gas, reducing operating costs and dependence on the grid while strengthening long-term stability. By capturing and treating biogas from biosolids processes, utilities improve energy resilience and create new value from existing assets without increasing ratepayer burden.
We partner with utility leaders to evaluate digester performance and deliver turnkey biogas systems with guaranteed outcomes. OPTERRA designs, owns, operates, and maintains biogas assets, transferring risk away from plant staff while supporting reliable, compliant, always-on wastewater operations.
Meeting sustainability goals with comprehensive energy, infrastructure, and process improvements.
"To us, community and environmental stewardship is about more than providing wastewater services. It is about working together to encourage and employ healthy industry and environmental practices that will benefit the region, our communities, and our ecosystem for years ahead."
