Member Interest in Municipal Water and Wastewater
Sector

• Strong presence in member service territories
• Similarities among facilities (processes,
  decision-making, motivations, mission)
• Members are serving this sector
• dedicated programs
• existing incentive programs (e.g., lighting,
  motors, drives, etc.)
• custom programs (e.g., pump system improvement
  projects, process enhancements)

5
Challenges

• Understanding the market
• How energy is used
• Energy saving opportunities
• Decision-making process
• Identifying best practices for energy-efficiency
• Promoting awareness in the market
• Gaining support for enhanced energy performance

6
CEE Municipal Water and Wastewater Facility
Initiative - 2005

• Objective increase awareness of and demand for
  energy efficiency within the municipal water and
  wastewater sector
• Strategy To build a template of nationally
  consistent tools and messages for members to
  incorporate into their programs and to deliver
  nationally

7
Initiative Elements

• Mobilize the energy-efficiency community, using
  local programs to demonstrate the benefits of
  facility energy-efficiency
• Develop national alliances with key water and
  wastewater associations to help raise awareness
  among utility managers
• Foster greater demand for energy-efficient water
  and wastewater facilities
• More product and service providers incorporating
  energy-efficiency as a standard business practices

8
Identifying Best Practices

• Water Treatment and Distribution
• Motors, Drives, Pumps, Controls
• Wastewater Collection and Treatment
• Process Control, Motors, Pumps, Blowers, Biogas
• Additional Opportunities
• Facility Design, Process Selection, Sizing
• Energy Management Systems (Operations)
• Unaccounted for water
• Water end-use efficiency

9
Seeking National, Collaboration to Enhance Energy
Performance

• Energy Efficiency Programs - CEE
• Water and Wastewater Research
• AwwaRF, WERF
• Water and Wastewater Industry
• AWWA, WEF
• Government
• EPA Air Radiation Office (ENERGY STAR)
• EPA Water Office and Regional Offices
• Administrators of State Revolving Loan Fund (SRF)
• Product and Service Providers Serving the Sector

10
EPA ENERGY STAR Program

• Voluntary government program to promote
  energy-efficiency in order to reduce emissions
• The ENERGY STAR label has become the national
  symbol for energy efficiency
• In the CI Sector, emphasis on strategic energy
  management and identifying best practices energy
  performance
• strong energy management
• using benchmarks for gauging improvement
• use of available technology (now)
• providing a forum on efficiency

11
ENERGY STAR Focus Industries

• An ENERGY STAR Focus is a targeted effort to
  improve the energy efficiency within a specific
  industry or combination of industries
• EPA has initiated several industry focuses which
  have led to the development of energy performance
  benchmarking capability for these industries,
  enhanced networking opportunities for partners,
  and supported the industries in their efforts to
  strategically manage energy.

12
ENERGY STAR Water and Wastewater Industries Focus

• Focus participants provide input to EPA about the
  following future program resources, tools, and
  opportunities
• A strong network of partners (public and private
  drinking water organizations, POTWs/local
  governments, and related industry, national, and
  state associations),
• An Energy Performance Rating System (EPRS) for
  each industry that is normalized for the
  appropriate variables such as weather, climate,
  plant/system characteristics, and regional
  differences.
• An Energy Efficiency Assessment and Opportunities
  Report that describes best practices to increase
  energy and water efficiency,
• Energy Management Guidelines
• Financing information
• Technical training and support for use of the EPA
  rating system
• EPA recognition of energy performance improvement.

13
A Key Tool to Help Raise Awareness An Energy
Performance Rating System

• Water Facility Energy Performance Metric
• Consistent basis for measuring internal
  performance over time
• Supports Benchmarking best in class across
  facilities
• Gain greater attention and motivate action
• Supported by energy-efficiency programs, ENERGY
  STAR and water/wastewater industry
• AWWA Research Foundation CA Energy Comm.
  Research Proj.
• Development of a Utility Energy Index to Assist
  in Benchmarking of Energy Management for Water
  and Wastewater Utilities (CEC/AwwaRF Project
  3009)
