Canal Isabel II annually produces more than 120 hm3 of reclaimed water, using it to irrigate green areas, wash streets
and industrial uses. In addition, They understand wastewater treatment plants as biofactories in which Canal de Isabel II
takes advantage of biogas to produce electricity and vehicle fuel, they sanitize sludge for reuse as fertilizers and recover
phosphorus from wastewater to produce 1,5 tons of struvite daily. Facilities under Canal de Isabel II:
9 Hydroelectric power plants
13 Treatment plants equipped with motor generators that work from the biogas generated in the treatment
2 Cogeneration plants associated with thermal drying of sludge
3 Small wastewater jumps that take advantage of the difference in elevation at the discharge point
9 Microturbines installed at different points of the supply network
2 Purification stations that have several photovoltaic panels
Thanks to the joint performance of these facilities, last year Canal de Isabel II broke their historical record for electricity
generated. In total 420 million kilowatts hour, equivalent to 87 % of their total consumption. Moreover they broke their
historical record for the percentage of energy production over consumption (125 %).
