3 Dedicated to enhancing the ability of governments and organizations to provide environmental programs and services in fair, effective and financially sustainable ways Serving EPA Region 4 3

4 OVERVIEW OF INDUSTRY ENERGY USE 4

5 How MUCH Energy? NATIONALLY Water and wastewater utility energy consumption is generally on the order of 30-60% of a city s energy bill Utilities spend about $4 billion annually on energy costs 5

6 How MUCH Energy? Energy represents the largest controllable cost of providing water or wastewater services to the public 6,583 municipal treatment plants in the US Energy represents 25-30% of total plant O&M In audits of 150 facilities identified energy savings of over 30%... K. Moraff, EPA Region 1 (Boston), Oct. 2011

7 Four Ways to Use Less Electricity in the Production of Water Use energy more efficiently Use (or re-use) water more efficiently Install renewables and other innovative green solutions Lose less water in the distribution system 7

8 How Utilities are Saving Energy Reduce demand during periods of peak electricity rates Use automation Continuously monitoring Dissolved Oxygen probe Routine pump maintenance Reduction in voltage imbalance Source: WATERGY: Energy and Water Efficiency in Municipal Water Supply and Wastewater Treatment Cost-Effective Savings of Water and Energy

9 How Utilities are Producing Energy Wastewater plants - biogas options Biogas produced by anaerobic digestion can be captured and used to generate electricity and heat Source: Evaluation of Energy Conservation Measures for Wastewater Treatment Facilities September 2010, EPA 832-R
