Situation: | As part of the debate on the modernization of the water management the energy use is discussed as a part of sustainability and profitability. Especially the specific consumption of electricity is considered. The specific energy requirement depends on the topographical conditions, the structure of the supply area, the type of water extraction, treatment process, the pipe network dimensioning etc. and is in each case different. |
| Methodology: | Systematic assessment of the energy performance, in collaboration with 14 participating water utilities with approximately 40 water works, allows to determine real operating data. Drawn up together with the catalog of energy saving potentials energy savings can be identified and recommendations can be established. For each water company, there will be a catalog with specific recommendations generated. The participating water companies will ensure that the development of the system is practical and at the same time during the project they achieve better knowledge of energy balances and savings in their own company.
