Situation: | With continuously increasing energy costs and the expected contribution of water utilities to reduce greenhouse gas emission, these companies face the challenge of providing drinking water more energy efficient.
The objective of this project is the sustainable improvement of energy efficiency with focus on water extraction including economic aspects.
For this purpose energy saving potentials are examined and the increase of energy efficiency is investigated after implementations of the proposed measures into the technical process. The knowledge and experience gained from the applied research are gathered in recommendations of actions that will allow all german water utilities to contribute effectively to the increase of energy efficiency.

| Methodology: | DVGW Research Institute at TUHH is coordinating the research and development project. Goals and tasks are:
- data collection, preparation of energy audits und planning of measures for energy saving,
- implementation of measures and monitoring success,
- presentation of results and development of recommendations of action.
