Practical Steps to Reduce System Electric Costs
January 27, 2010
11 am Mountain time
(1hr webcast)

Presented as a collaboration between the National Rural Water Association and the American Water Works Association

Program Overview

Water utilities typically use a lot of energy to deliver drinking water to customers. Pumping requires the most energy for many water systems. This webcast presents ways to most efficiently integrate water system load control practices with power supplier operations and pricing rules. Emphasis is placed on normally zero-cost energy management techniques coupled with electric rate schedule characteristics.

Learning Objectives

• Illustrate how electric power production and delivery impacts pricing schedules and principles.
• Identify methods to reduce energy usage.
• Define how water system operations may be beneficially tailored to electric rate schedules.
• Summarize specific types of energy conserving water system operations and present savings amounts.
