Integrated Infrastructures

Water supply, wastewater treatment, transportation, communications, waste management, and other physical infrastructures consume large amounts of energy. Integrated infrastructures incorporate cleaner and green energy technologies to reduce both out-of-pocket costs and true costs while delivering vital services to residents and businesses.

Many Cape towns are evaluating wind turbine installations to help power water pumping and wastewater management facilities. Cleaner fuels are being used by local transit authorities. This section will highlight integrated infrastructures and opportunities in the Cape & Islands region.
