Utilities of the Future Energy Findings PDF
by Steve Tarallo
Description
In 1996, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) published a report entitled Water and Wastewater Industries: Characteristics and Energy Management Opportunities which described how electricity is used in the water and wastewater treatment sector. EPRI estimated in 2013 that the domestic wastewater sector now uses 30 billion kWh/yr of electric power or 0.8% of the electricity generated nationwide. More recent studies (Shizas and Bagley, 2004; Wett, Buchauer and Fimml, 2007) provide evidence that there is adequate energy embedded in domestic wastewater to significantly offset the power demand for treatment through energy resource recovery at wastewater facilities.
