BESP: The District's Guide To Energy Independence

On September 3, 2019, the District’s Board adopted a comprehensive Biosolids and Energy Strategic Plan (BESP) to determine the best combination of biosolids treatment, disposal, and energy recovery improvements to move the District toward its vision of energy sustainability. The District’s BESP provides a roadmap to energy sustainability, implemented in a phased timeline. The first phase of the BESP includes a new digester, a combined heat and power (CHP) system, and biogas storage. These improvements together allow GSD to produce and harvest more energy and use it to power our facilities.
