Energy Efficiency Program

Picture
Eligible systems include:
-Water/wastewater systems serving 10,000 people or less
-USDA Rural Development loan/grant eligible
-County systems



​NCRWA’s Energy Efficiency Technical Assistance Program is designed to promote energy-efficient practices in small water and wastewater systems. Funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service, the program performs the following support for water and wastewater systems:
  • Energy assessments
  • Recommends energy efficient practices and technologies and provides support in achieving recommendations
  • Energy usage technical support
  • Assists with presentations to governing boards
  • Accessing financing opportunities to improve energy efficiency
  • Training and assistance with energy efficiency project implementation
Water/wastewater facilities account for approximately 4% of all electricity consumed in the United States. Whether implementing a motor management program, upgrading to new/higher-efficiency pumps and/or controls like VFDs, or tweaking processes to occur more during off-peak hours, there are always opportunities for improved efficiencies in any system. Energy efficient equipment typically has a longer service life, and requires less maintenance than older, less efficient technologies.  Water/wastewater systems can be responsible for nearly 40-60% of a town’s entire energy budget, a clear indication of their immense energy use which presents a huge opportunity for potential energy savings! Energy efficiency projects should be on the forefront of infrastructure upgrades and long-term planning for water/wastewater facilities.
