3 On the Occasion of Formulation of the Plan According to the Fifth Assessment Report* presented by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the progress of the global warming has not yet been braked on and it is forecasted that global average temperature will rise up to 4.8 at maximum by the end of 21st century enhancing further necessity of countermeasures against global warming. Tokyo Metropolitan Government formulated the Long-Term Vision for Tokyo: aiming at creating Tokyo, the world s best city in December of This Vision presents a policy for addressing the challenges such as reduction of energy consumption and further expansion of renewable energy supply system. Tokyo Waterworks uses approximately 0.8 billion kwh of electricity that accounts for about 1% of Tokyo s total power consumption, and therefore has to make efforts to reduce energy use as a large-scale business entity. In this regard, in addition to effective use of water resources, we have strived to take measures to prevent water leakage, introduce renewable energy and improve efficiency of pump equipment, which have significant effects on the reduction of energy use. However, our water leakage rate is already 2% that is at the top level in the world, a further reduction of which is difficult. Therefore, the conventional approach has faced limitations in additional reduction in energy use. On the other hand, we will soon be required to renew all the water facilities that had been continuously developed and expanded in order to respond to the rapid increase in water demand during the period of high economic growth. This will be a better opportunity than ever before to review our waterworks systems (e.g. those for water intake, purification, transmission and distribution) from a perspective of energy use. By seizing this opportunity of facility renewal, we need to establish a highly energy efficient water system by making efforts to develop facilities in consideration of energy efficiency while thoroughly exploring and expanding the possibility of further promotion of existing measures such as employment of renewable energy and improvement in pump efficiency. Against this backdrop, we have decided to formulate the Tokyo Waterworks 10 Year Plan for Energy Efficiency to aim for further improvement in energy efficiency of the waterworks services of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG). Taking the stable supply of safe and better-tasting water as a given requirement, Tokyo Waterworks will make utmost efforts to actively promote energy-related measures based on this Plan and pass the nature-rich environment of the earth on to the next generation. This plan is prepared based on the above-mentioned The Long-Term Vision for Tokyo. February 2015 Ei Yoshida Director General

7 Chapter 1 Situations Surrounding the Bureau 1 Trends concerning climate change Increases in greenhouse gas concentration and average temperature According to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHGs) have continued to increase, the global average concentration of which hit a record high in Global average surface temperature change ( C) The Fifth Assessment Report* of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) shows that the increase in global average temperature by 0.85 degrees Celsius (from 0.65 to 1.06) during about 130 years ( ) was caused by the increase in GHG concentration. The report also says that each of the last three decades has been warmer than any preceding decade since And, it is forecasted that surface temperature will rise by 4.8 at most by the end of 21st century (see the following Figure). Impact of climate change In recent years, extreme weather events such as heat waves, heavy downpours and tornados have frequently occurred around the world, which are considered to be caused by global warming. Also in Japan, extreme weather events have been increasingly evident, as exemplified by local torrential rain (called Guerrilla rainstorm) that causes flood damage. Mitigation of climate change It is forecasted that the global temperature may continue to rise for many centuries, even if the artificial emission of greenhouse gas is stopped immediately. And, in order Chapter 1. Situations Surrounding the to limit risks derived from impacts of such warming, it may be necessary to limit the Bureau rise in temperature under 2 relative to that of pre-industrial era. IPCC Forecast of future temperature presented in the Fifth Assessment Report Estimates of future temperature based on a new set of scenarios It is estimated that increase of global average surface temperature for relative to is projected to likely be in the ranges from 0.3 C to 1.7 C under the scenario in which maximum possible global-warming measures are taken (RCP2.6) and from 2.6 C to 4.8 C under the scenario in which no mitigation measures are taken (RCP8.5) RCP8.5: Temperature Historical increase is large as there is no restriction on RCP2.6* CO 2 emissions. RCP8.5 RCP2.6: temperature increase is small as CO2 emissions are restricted * RCP2.6 is a scenario in which radiative forcing increases by 2.6 W/m 2 from the pre-industrial era to the end of this century.

8 2 Chapter 1. Situations Surrounding the Bureau 2 Trends in Japan Trends in domestic power generation businesses Thermal power generation has increased due to the shutdown of nuclear power stations after the Great East Japan Earthquake. Consequently, the CO2 emissions associated with power generation in FY 2013 increased by about 30% (0.11 billion tons) compared with those in FY On the other hand, due to the rise in oil prices, the fuel costs required for power generation in FY 2013 increased by 4.1 trillion yen compared with those in FY Also, the energy self-sufficiency ratio in FY 2013 has dropped down to about 5.5% except nuclear power generation.

9 Act on the Rational Use of Energy The Act on the Rational Use of Energy (Act No. 49 of 1979) aims to ensure effective use of fuel resources according to economic and social circumstances surrounding energy in Japan and abroad, and provides for measures concerning rational use of energy for factories, transportation, buildings, and machinery and equipment. Under the provisions of this Act, the Tokyo Waterworks Bureau (hereinafter referred to as the Bureau ) falls under the specified business operator, the total energy use (crude oil equivalent value) of which is 1,500 kl/year or more; therefore, the Bureau is required to make efforts to reduce its energy use by 1% or more in reference to the basic unit from mid- and long-term perspectives. Target for reduction of greenhouse gas emission in Japan The Government s target by FY2020 for reduction of domestic greenhouse gas emission is set at down 3.8% relative to the FY 2005 level, assuming that the share of nuclear power supply will be zero. And, in this assumption, it is envisioned that the situation of the higher share of thermal power generation shall further continue. Chapter 1. Situations Surrounding Strategic Energy Plan the In April of 2014, the Cabinet decided to approve the New Strategic Energy Plan. The Plan summarizes challenges of policy measures to be addressed as well as the Bureau long-term, comprehensive and systematic energy policy with a perspective of future structure of energy demand and supply for medium-to long-term, in about 20 years to come. In the Plan, renewable energy is positioned as a promising, multi-characteristic and important domestic energy source of low carbon. And, the Plan specifies the policy direction for renewable energy so to accelerate its introduction as far as possible for about 3 years since 2013 and to continue further promotion intensively. Furthermore, in order to enhance the efficiency of energy utilization, the Plan emphasizes importance of more efficient utilization of heat, and it also points out necessity to strengthen measures for that purpose. And, since cogeneration, which generates a combination of heat and electricity, is one way of utilizing energy most efficiently by concurrently using heat and power, it is considered to be necessary to promote the introduction of cogeneration. 3

10 4 Chapter 1. Situations Surrounding the Bureau 3 Trends in TMG In the midst of demands for change to a society that enables the compatibility of ensuring of stable power supply with avoidance of climate change risks, TMG has promoted mainly the following energy measures. Tokyo Metropolitan Environment Master Plan (formulated in 2008) In order to aim for a city that allows people to work and live comfortably with low energy consumption, the Plan provides the direction towards environmental load reduction such as by setting a target to increase the ratio of renewable energy in energy consumption in Tokyo by TMG Action Plan for GHG Emission Reduction (formulated in 2012) This Plan was formulated as a TMG s own action plan to reduce GHG emissions, which is equivalent to the action plan of local government (concerning affairs/businesses) set forth in Article 20-3 of the Act on Promotion of Global Warming Countermeasures (Act No. 117 of 1998). Its plan period covers five years from FY 2010 to 2014 and estimates GHG reduction by 13% relative to the FY 2000 level for the whole TMG including the Governor s Department and the public enterprises (i.e. the Bureaus of Transportation, Waterworks and Sewerage). The Long-Term Vision for Tokyo (formulated in 2014) The Long-Term Vision for Tokyo formulated in December of 2014 proposes creation of smart energy city and specifies that the Government shall address the challenges for reduction of energy consumption and active introduction of renewable energy. <Policy Target> Reduction of energy consumption shall be down 20% by 2020 and down 30% by 2030, relative to Share of electricity supply using renewable energy shall be expanded to around 20% by Environment Master Plan(Targeted period for renewable energy use) TMG Action Plan for GHG Emissions Reduction The Long-Term Vision for Tokyo Figure: TMG s energy-related measures

11 Chapter 2 Current Status and Challenges 1 Current status of energy usage The annual power usage of the Bureau is approximately 0.8 billion kwh. This is equivalent to about 1% of the total power usage in Tokyo. Also, the power costs for the operation of water purification plants and water supply stations reached no less than 16.3 billion yen in FY 2013 (up by 18% over the previous year) due to the rise in power charges after the accidents occurred at the Tokyo Electric Power Company s nuclear power station in March Water intake conveyance Water purification 2 Usage characteristics of electricity In the breakdown of power usage for waterworks services in FY 2013, the usage in the water transmission/distribution process is the largest about 60% of the total followed by that in the water purification process and then the water intake/conveyance one. The characteristics of power usage in the processes of water transmission, distribution, purification, intake and conveyance are as follows. (1) Water transmission and distribution process Due to geological constraints on the location of water intake points, the Bureau takes water from those points located at the altitude of five meter or lower for about 80% of the capacity of all the water purification plants, while about 70% of water supply stations to which water is transmitted are located at the altitude of 20 m or higher. That is, the large amount of energy use in the water transmission and distribution process is caused by the fact that water is pumped up to the higher altitude areas. Therefore, it is effective to utilize potential energy of free fall as much as possible and make their pump equipment efficient. Others Power usage approx. 0.8 billion kwh Water transmission/ distribution Figure: Breakdown of power usage (FY 2013) Electric power charge Electric power charge Power usage Figure: Trends in power usage and power costs in service activities Share of water distribution amount at each water supply station by altitude About 70% Altitude: under 20m Mt.

12 6 Chapter 3. Targets of the Plan and the Direction of Measures (2) Water purification process The Bureau started to introduce the advanced water treatment in order into its water purification plants and, in October 2013, achieved that all the water from those plants along the Tone River system is advanced purification water. However, significant energy loss was caused in some cases due to the complex water purification process with the mixed facilities of different ages of construction as a result of adding the advanced water treatment function to the limited space of the sites of water purification plants. Therefore, at the future opportunity of facility renewal, certain improvement will be required such as by the facility placement take account of energy efficiency in water purification. Conventional treatment Ozonation Finely resolve the substances that cause a musty odor to make them easy to treat. Ozone generation From sedimentation basin Water intake Coagulation Sedimentation by chemicals Ozone contact basin Added purification treatment Advanced water treatment Sand Filtration Ozone generator Biological activated carbon absorption basin Figure: Flow of advanced water treatment Water distribution Biological activated carbon absorption treatment Microorganisms in the biological activated carbon decompose resolved substances that cause musty odor. To rapid sand filter (3) Water intake and conveyance process The Raw Water Connecting Facilities are the ones that were established so that raw water can be mutually shared between the Tone and Ara River systems and the Tama River system. In this regard, energy use will increase when water from the Tama River system is to be stored in the Ogouchi Reservoir to prepare for drought because the water is needs to be pumped up from the Asaka Water Purification Plant located at low altitude to the Higashimurayama Water Purification Plant at high altitude. In this manner, the amount of raw water conveyance that is necessary for ensuring stable water supply depends on natural conditions, which thus cannot be free from fluctuation in energy usage.

13 3 Past efforts and future challenges towards higher energy efficiency Based on the abovementioned characteristics of energy use, the Bureau has mainly taken the following measures. (1) Details of each measure Promotion of measures to prevent water leakage Measures to prevent water leakage are intended to contribute to the reduction in power use for the purpose of delivering tap water to our customers as well as the effective use of valuable water resources. The Bureau has realized the world-leading rate of low water leakage by promoting measures to prevent water leakage such as strategic water pipe replacement since before FY2000. Through the measures to prevent water leakage taken by FY 2013, the Bureau has reduced its annual (0.1 billion m 3 /yr) Water leakage Water leakage Water leakage rate Implementation rate of ductile distribution pipes Implementation rate of stainless service pipes Water leakage rate Fiscal Year Figure: Transition of water leakage and leakage rate as well as implementation of ductile distribution pipes and stainless service pipes power usage by 45 million kwh relative to the FY 2000 level, which is equivalent to about 6% of its annual power usage. Rate of ductile distribution pipes / Rate of stainless service pipes Column Improvement in the technology of water leakage prevention Tokyo Waterworks has promoted the following technology development to improve the technology of water leakage prevention. Development of water leakage detection technology The circumstances surrounding operations of water leakage detection tend to be worsening due to the increase in noise and traffic associated with the recent urban development. Therefore, we have striven for technological development to improve water leakage detection technologies (e.g. water leakage detection equipment). Development of water leakage prevention technology From a perspective of water leakage prevention, we have made efforts to conduct research on corrosion control technology and construction methods, and to improve and develop pipe materials and joints. Recently, we developed a robot that can examine the inside of transmission and distribution mains without interruption to the supply of water, which has been put it into practical use since FY Chapter 3. Targets of the Plan and the Direction of Measures 7

14 8 Chapter 3. Targets of the Plan and the Direction of Measures Improvement towards higher efficiency of pump equipment We have made efforts to enhance energy efficiency, for example, by changing from the liquid rheostat method that decreases energy efficiency in the low-speed rotation range to the one of inverter control method that involves less energy loss when pump equipment needs to be newly installed or replaced at a water purification plant or a water supply station. Energy generation <Introduction of the cogeneration system> The Bureau has introduced continuous power generation equipment that employ the cogeneration system* at large-scale water purification plants. The continuous power generation equipment generate power using city gas. In this regard, we have made efforts to save energy such as by utilizing the steam generated from the recovered exhaust heat for generating electricity and for warming the sludge generated from the effluent treatment process. * A system that generates power using city gas as fuel while effectively utilizing the recovered exhaust heat therefrom. <Introduction of renewable energy> Water purification plants and water supply stations have generated clean energy by introducing hydraulic power generation that uses excess pressure generated when conveying and transmitting water, or solar power generation in order utilizing the upper part of service reservoirs. Efficient water supply operations The Bureau have operated the total energy management system in which the energy usage in the processes of water conveyance, purification, transmission and distribution can be identified. By using this system, we have made efforts to make water supply operations efficient by adding an energy perspective to the stable water supply such as by distributing water to systems with less energy consumption. (2) Effects of our main efforts made so far As a result of the aforementioned measures taken, the Bureau estimates the effect of streamlining energy use to be equivalent to about 15% (relative to FY 2000), relative to the case where no measures were taken. Cases where certain measures were taken Although the Bureau has achieved (%) significant reduction in energy use, no further streamlining may be possible in such cases as where measures to prevent water leakage achieved the water leakage rate of 2.2% as of FY Also, as for the streamlining of pump equipment or renewable energy, it is necessary to thoroughly identify the improvable facilities and further improve them taking the opportunity of facility development. Cases where no measures were taken Streamlined 15%

15 Topic Ordinance-based responses to GHG emissions reduction obligations Entities subject to the obligations Tokyo and Saitama Prefecture have introduced the systems that oblige large-scale places of business, the annual energy use (e.g. fuel, heat and electricity) of which is 1,500 kl or more of crude oil equivalent, to calculate and report the amount of GHG emissions and to set reduction targets. The following 18 places of business within the Bureau are subject to these obligations (as of February 2015). Water purification plants Water supply stations Pump stations Tokyo (Total emissions reduction obligations and emissions trading system) Higashimurayama, Kanamachi, Misono, Kinuta, Takatsuki Hongo, Yodobashi, Wadabori, Okura, Nerima, Kamiigusa, Minamisenju, Yasaka Hamura Water Conveyance, Inagi, Hino Booster Saitama Prefecture (Target-setting emissions trading system) Asaka, Misato Chapter 3. Targets of the Plan and the Responses to emissions reduction obligations The above large-scale places of business are obliged to reduce emissions by 6% Direction of from the reference emissions levels for the first period of the Emissions Reduction Plan from FY 2010 to 2014 (as to the Ordinance of Saitama Prefecture, FY 2011 to 2014). As for the first period, it is expected that these emissions reduction obligations can Measures be implemented through the ordinary efforts of the Bureau. However, in the second period of the Plan (FY2015~2019), the above-listed large-scale places of business are obliged to reduce emissions by a certain percentage from the reference emissions levels: 15% for business places in Tokyo and 13% for Saitama Prefecture. Furthermore, the emission reduction target may be further upgraded for the third period of the Plan and thereafter. Thus, it is necessary to meet accordingly the emission reduction obligations by further promoting the measures to reduce the power consumption that shares the major portion of the energy usage by the Bureau of Waterworks. 9

16 10 Chapter 3. Targets of the Plan and the Direction of Measures 4 Facility development for ensuring stable water supply into the future In light of the upcoming renewal of the large-scale water purification plants that were intensely developed during the high economic growth period and of the lessons learned from the East Japan Great Earthquake in 2011, the Bureau is steadily proceeding with the facility development projects in order to properly respond to the challenges such as facility renewal and earthquake countermeasures. (1) Development of alternative water purification plants in prospect of renewal of large-scale water purification plants The Bureau will have to intensively renew its water purification plants after Each water purification plant is internally divided into different lines of water treatment; therefore, a plant s renewal will be carried out by closing internal facilities in a unit of line in order to mitigate the plant s performance decline. Nevertheless, we are in a situation where significant performance declines are unavoidable. In this regard, we will launch the renewal based on the prior development of an alternative water purification facility with an equivalent capacity of the facility, the performance of which is to decline associated with renewal. In this way, we will systematically promote the renewal construction work that takes a long time while ensuring stable water supply. Figure: Illustration of renewal of large-scale water purification plant (2) Doubling of conveyance and transmission pipes and strengthening of the network of transmission pipes The Bureau is making efforts to promote the use of double conveyance and transmission pipelines and strengthening of the network of transmission pipes in order to enhance their functions as backup pipelines in case of earthquake disaster or accident. As for conveyance pipes, we are going to double the Asaka-Higashimurayama Raw Water Connecting Pipes and the conveyance pipes for the occasion of reconstruction of the Sakai Water Purification Plant. Also, as for transmission pipes, those of the Asaka-Kamiigusa Line will be doubled, while the Tama North-South Main Line will be developed. (3) New construction of and improvements to water supply stations The Bureau is developing water supply stations in order, so as to eliminate the locally uneven distribution of water supply stations and the shortage of the capacity of service reservoirs. For the future, we undertakes to newly construct the Kohoku, Kamikitazawa (tentatively named), Ohji(tentatively named) and Tama North (tentatively named) water supply stations and improve the Wadabori water supply station. Such restructuring of waterworks facilities offers a good opportunity to fundamentally review the energy efficiency of our waterworks systems. Thus, it is necessary to consider the facility renewal plans from their planning phase from the perspective of energy efficiency.

17 Chapter 3 Targets of the Plan and the Direction of Measures 1 The Plan s orientation This Plan is intended to clarify the details of energy-related measures to be taken from mid- and long-term perspectives. 2 The Plan s period The Plan is to cover a ten year period from FY 2015 to However, this will be implemented in a flexible manner according to changes in social circumstances such as those in the government s or TMG s energy-related policies in the future.

(1) By seizing the opportunity of new construction or renewal of waterworks facilities, we will restructure them to be highly energy efficient by sufficiently utilizing the potential energy of water in the processes of water intake/conveyance, purification, transmission and distribution. (2) To the extent possible, we will improve the existing measures such as the streamlining of pump equipment, and introduction of cogeneration systems and renewable energy sources.

Targets of the Plan and the Direction of Measures Future Visions Supply safe and better-tasting water with minimum energy Placement of water purification facilities upstream Hydraulic power generation utilizing difference in elevation Utilization of water purification plants at high altitudes Purification plant Purification plant Water supply station Process of water intake / conveyance Installation of solar power equipment Water purification utilizing potential energy Process of water purification Process of water transmission / distribution Efficient water supply operation Selecting the best water distribution route Water purification plant Route A Water supply station Water supply station Route B Utilization of excess pressure at water supply stations Small hydroelectric generation utilizing excess pressure* Service area Streamlining of pumping capacity by directlyconnected distribution *Small hydroelectric generation is hydroelectric generation of less than 1000kW

19 In order to further promote streamlining of energy use, it is necessary to change the current waterworks systems into highly efficient ones by utilizing the opportunities of renewal of the waterworks facilities, together with improving the conventional measures to the extent possible. In order to restructure the facilities into highly energy efficient ones, it is crucial to formulate a plan from the planning phase of facility renewal while imagining the 10 year period of the plan and way-distant future. Therefore, as a desirable future direction of waterworks services, we will take energy measures by taking account of the following points. Water intake and conveyance process A waterworks system that can utilize gravity flow is developed such as by increasing the share of upstream water purification plants in the total capacity of water purification plants. Hydraulic power generation is introduced using the difference in elevation; its potential energy is utilized. Water purification process Facility placement has been changed within the water purification plant; water purification is carried out utilizing as much potential energy as possible. Solar energy generation has been installed to the upper part of the water purification plant or the rooftop of buildings; clean energy with low environmental loads is created. Water transmission and distribution process The use of gravity flow is optimized in water transmission from a purification plant to a water supply station. Water supply operation is efficiently carried out with the lowest possible energy loss thanks to the development of the transmission pipe network. Hydraulic power generation, directly-connected water transmission method and solar power generation are introduced as much as possible; pressure released when drawing water into a service reservoir or water supply pressure is effectively utilized. Utilization of the latest technology (making equipment highly efficient) In light of the technology development, most suitable equipment is installed to enable highly efficient operations; required power input for the operation of equipment (e.g. pumps) is minimized. Cogeneration systems have been introduced in order to secure electricity for large-scale water purification plants; exhaust heat from power generation is effectively utilized. 13 Chapter 3. Targets of the Plan and the Direction of Measures

20 14 Chapter 3. Targets of the Plan and the Direction of Measures 4. Targets of the Plan (1) Ideas about the targets This Plan sets targets to be achieved in 10 years. Taking social requirements regarding energy problems fully into consideration, the plan target is set at a higher level as possible including contribution to attain the following targets set by Tokyo Metropolitan Government:. Policy targets in the Long-term Vision for Tokyo Reduction of energy consumption shall be down 20% by 2020 and down 30% by 2030, relative to Share of electricity supply of renewable energy shall be expanded to around 20% by Specific targets by sector Introduction of solar power generation in Tokyo: 1,000,000kW by 2024 Introduction of solar power generation in facilities owned by Tokyo Metropolitan Government: 22,000kW by 2020 Introduction of cogeneration system for business use: 600,000kW by 2024 In light of the facility development plans to be carried out by FY 2024 (i.e. the end of this Plan), we will explore all possibilities that can be explored at the moment and carry out efforts that can be carried out in 10 years to come. The Bureau regards as necessary the increase in energy use by additional construction of advanced water purification facilities so as to ensure stable supply of safe and better-tasting water, and sets the target at the accumulated value of the effort s effects subtracting that increase. In addition, the total reduction in energy use will be indicated. Note: Definition of the streamlining of energy use Streamlining of energy use means the total value of energy determined by the addition of energy-conservation effects by streamlining of equipment to energy-creation effects by power generation. Energy-co nservation effects Energycreation effects Measures to prevent water leakage.reduced power usage by development of facilities and streamlining of pump equipment that take account of energy conservation Amount of energy creation with low environmental loads by solar power generation, hydraulic power generation and power generation utilizing exhaust heat generated from continuous power generation Streamlined total energy usage

21 (2) Targets In accordance with the idea of the targets, the target for the streamlining of energy use is set in the following. Goal of 1 We cannot avoid the increase in energy use that is necessary for ensuring stable supply of safe and better-tasting water such as by introduction of advanced water treatment, but by putting this aside the Bureau will streamline the energy use in the conventional waterworks systems by at least 20% or more by FY 2024 relative to FY In addition, this 20% includes the effects of measures taken so far and those to be taken in 10 years to come such as measures to prevent water leakage and those to streamline pump equipment. Illustration of reduction in total energy use Due to the introduction of advanced water treatment after FY 2000, energy usage is estimated to increase by about 16% by FY Therefore, in terms of the total usage that includes the increase in energy use, the rate of streamlining of energy use will be about 10%. Increase due to the extension of facilities such as those for advanced water treatment About 16% Chapter 3. Targets of the Plan and the Direction of Measures Inclusive of the addition Real reduction: about 10% Power usage in FY 2000 About 11% About Maximum reduction: 26% Reduction due to streamlining of the existing 15% facilities FY2000 FY2024 FY2014 After FY2024, share of electricity supply of renewable energy shall be targeted at 30% by FY

31 Direction of measures 1. Streamlining of energy use along with facility development Measure 1. Streamlining of energy use along with the development of alternative water purification facilities at large-scale water purification 19 Measures Outline of the measure The Bureau will make efforts to improve energy efficiency through the development of facilities utilizing various energy sources (e.g. potential energy of water) as much as possible, along with the renewal of water purification plants and development of alternative water purification facilities. The Sakai Water Purification Plant that is to be developed as an alternative water purification facility for renewing the Higashimurayama Water Purification Plant will utilize the potential energy associated with water intake from the reservoir to the maximum extent possible. Also, for water purification plants that are to be improved or renewed thereafter, we will reconstruct them as highly energy-efficient facilities that employ renewable energy while optimizing the facility placement within their sites in order to utilize potential energy as much as possible. Introduction of small hydraulic power generation utilizing the difference in height (Sakai Water Purification Plant) By utilizing the difference in height of about 20 meters between the reservoirs and the Plant, the Plant uses the entire amount of intake water from the reservoirs for hydraulic power generation.

32 Efficient water supply operation including utilization of gravity flow of water Large amounts of power are required for pumping in order to transmit water from a low altitude to a high one. In particular, a lot of energy is required for water transmission to water supply stations. Nevertheless, we can reduce energy usage by utilizing the gravity flow of water from the Sakai Water Purification Plant that is located at a high altitude. Reservoir Water transmission by gravity Purification flow of water plant A Water supply station Users Purification plant B The Bureau will install solar power equipment to the upper part of water purification plants to coincide with their improvement, and then utilize renewable energy sources.

33 Direction of measures 1. Streamlining of energy use along with facility development Measure 2. Streamlining of energy use along with new construction and expansion of water supply stations 21 Measures Outline of the measure In order to eliminate the locally uneven distribution of water supply stations and the shortage of capacity of service reservoirs, Tokyo Waterworks is promoting the development of water supply stations. Water supply stations distribute water to customers by storing and pumping out the water transmitted from water purification plants. This process causes energy loss because the transmission pressure from water purification plants is to be released at service reservoirs. In this regard, Tokyo Waterworks will control energy usage by utilizing as much as possible the energy that is to be lost when the pressure is released. Specifically, when establishing or expanding a water supply station, we will install a small hydraulic power equipment that utilizes excess pressure caused by water transmission to the water supply station, in combination with a directly-connected water distribution pumping equipment. Also, coinciding with the development of a water supply station, we will, to the extent possible, install solar power generation equipment to the upper part of that water purification plant, considering the insolation conditions and the uses of its upper part.

Streamlining of energy use along with the development of conveyance and transmission pipes Outline of the measures Tokyo Waterworks is promoting the use of double pipelines for conveyance and transmission pipes and the strengthening of the network of transmission pipes in order to enhance their functions as backup pipelines in case of earthquake disaster or accident. In promoting the use of double pipelines and the strengthening of the network, we will take account of energy efficiency as much as possible, in addition to making efforts to ensure stable water supply as a primary requirement. Also, after the development of such facilities, we will make efforts to efficiently carry out facility management such as by water supply operations taking account of the difference in height between facilities from a perspective of energy use. Ogouchi Reservoir Goal of the measure In association with the application of the double pipeline method to conveyance and transmission pipes and the strengthening of the network of transmission pipes, the Bureau will carry out development and mains management considering energy efficiency as much as possible.

36 Topic Future Prospects for Efficient Water Supply Management/Control About 60 % of power consumption at waterworks facilities is by pump equipment of water supply stations that are operated to provide tap water to the customers. Power consumption as such varies greatly depending on water demand that is influenced by seasons and weather, or by changes of transmission and distribution routes due to construction of water facilities. In this regard, we are promoting efficient water supply management/control by introducing the Total Energy Management System. Operational status of the Total Energy Management System The Total Energy Management System is designed to display and estimate the power usage of each facility and the total power usage relative to the planned amount of water distribution by inputting the electric power data of the Bureau' facilities, as integrated by the System, into the function of supporting formulation of water supply management/control plans within the water supply management/control system. Since the system started in FY 2010, we have improved as necessary the software that is to appropriately distribute water to routes with less energy consumption and to Measures estimate power consumption. Total Energy Management System Energy Management System Water Supply Management/Control System Function of supporting the formulation of Collection of electricity water supply management/control plans Data collection (flow rate, data Calculate the basic unit of pressure) Accumulation of water transmission and collected data distribution Estimates of water Estimate power usage demand Formulate water supply management/control plans. Carry out daily management/control of water supply considering energy efficiency. Figure: Conceptual Diagram of the Total Energy Management System Future challenges to the System In order to realize the water supply management/control that takes account of energy efficiency, the Total Energy Management System is utilized at the stage of formulation of the monthly water supply operation plan. However, the System may not work as planned due to daily variations in water demand. In order to further promote energy saving, we will improve the System, aiming for the one that can minimize energy use even if water demand varies daily. 24

37 Direction of measures 2. Utilization of renewable energy Measure 4: Introduction of solar power generation Outline of the measure We have set up solar power generation equipment on the coverings over sand filters and the upper part of service reservoirs at water purification plants. In the future, in addition to their installation on the upper part of the existing waterworks facilities, we will explore room for introducing solar power generation and carry out as much development as possible at government buildings or other buildings to be newly built, too. Also, we will introduce solar power generation along with restructuring of facilities and actively utilize renewable energy.

38 Current status of equipment introduction In FY 2004, we set up Megawatt-class solar power generation equipment at the Asaka Water Purification Plant for the first time as a waterworks operator. Since then, we have introduced solar power generation into spaces within facility sites such as upper parts of sand filters and service reservoirs. The capacity of solar power generation equipment set up in FY 2014 was 6,402 kw. Their annual power generation amount was 3.85 million kwh in FY Goal of the measure The Bureau will actively utilize renewable energy by expanding the introduction of solar power generation to water purification facilities, water supply stations and government buildings.

39 Direction of measures 2. Utilization of renewable energy Measure 5. Introduction of small hydraulic power generation Outline of the measure Hydraulic power generation is a power generation method that converts water s potential energy caused by the height difference. The Bureau has introduced hydraulic power generation utilizing the height difference between reservoirs and water purification plants, or excess pressure that is caused when drawing water into service reservoirs of water supply stations. We will continue to increase small hydraulic power generation equipment at facilities in which they can be installed, based on consideration of the place for installation as well as the facility operation status such as inflow water pressure and volume at water supply stations. Also, in cases where water supply stations are to be newly constructed, we will efficiently install small hydraulic power generation equipment by securing its space in advance. 27 Measures Utilization of excess pressure When pumping water from a water purification plant to water supply stations, the excess pressure as illustrated in the figure below occurs at stations located at a relatively lower altitude. The Bureau will recover excess pressure as energy by setting up a small hydraulic power generation equipment at a water supply station in which excess pressure occurs.

41 Direction of measures 2. Utilization of renewable energy Measure 6. Introduction of cogeneration systems Outline of the measures In order to ensure stable water supply even at the time of contingency situation such as large-scale blackouts due to disasters, the Bureau has developed stand-alone power system by installing continuous power generation equipment at large scale water purification plants. For such power equipment, cogeneration system is introduced so to improve energy efficiency by effective utilization of exhaust heat. In the installation of continuous power generation equipment at the Misato Water Purification Plant, cogeneration system is continued to be employed to attain improvement of energy efficiency.

43 Direction of measures 3. Streamlining of energy use along with renewal of facilities Measure 7. Streamlining of pumping facilities Outline of the measure Waterworks related facilities include variety of equipment such as pumping equipment and effluent treatment equipment. Many of such equipment will reach a time for renewal in coming 10 years. At the time of renewal, improvement is given to equipment of low energy efficiency. 31 Measures Streamlining of pumping facilities The proportion of power usage by pumping equipment has become significantly large in power usage in the water transmission and distribution process, from water purification plants and water supply stations. Also, since many pumping facilities were installed during the high economic growth period and thus are with lower energy efficiency than the current ones, it is effective to renew them into highly efficient ones for energy conservation. In renewing pumping equipment, we will select an appropriate one (e.g. by considering the introduction of the inverter control method) depending on the status of pumping operations, thereby seeking to improve energy efficiency in pumping operations. Energy loss by liquid resistors 1. Liquid resistor method An electrical resistor in which the resistive element is a liquid. This method has a characteristic in which energy loss by resistance becomes large in the low speed rotation range. 2. Inverter control method A pump rotation control method by controlling the voltage and frequency of an electric motor s power source. This allows energy efficient operations of pumps by changing the power source voltage and frequency in order to reduce energy loss according to the characteristics of an electric motor that rotates the pump.

Introduction of Power Producer and Suppliers 35 Measures Outline of the measure In purchasing electricity, it is possible to reduce environmental loads through the procurement of electricity from Power Producer and Suppliers (PPS)* that have electric sources with low CO2 emissions (e.g. renewable energy sources). Tokyo Waterworks has purchased electric power from PPS at some water supply stations and places of business. Based on power usage at each place of business, we will make efforts to reduce environmental loads caused by electric power use while contributing to the promotion of PPS by expanding power purchase from PPS who supply low-carbon electricity. * Power Producer and Suppliers (PPS) refers to the Specified-Scale Electricity Utility set forth in Item 8, Paragraph 1, Article 2 of the Electricity Business Act. Current situation of introduction In FY 2012, the Nerima and Itabashi Water Supply Stations for the first time purchased power from PPS. After that, places of business (including pumping stations, branch offices, business offices, etc.) have purchased power from Power Producer and Suppliers (PPS) to reduce electric power costs. Also, based on the TMG s Green Purchasing Guide, we are purchasing environment-friendly power by setting up bidding conditions from a standpoint of CO2 emissions control.
