Energy Efficiency in Water Supply and Sanitation Utilities
GAIN practical experience on energy efficiency measures LEARN from other practitioners in the sector BE UP TO DATE on the latest trends in the sector BENEFIT from regional and global experiences from other utilities and experts
Program description and covered topics
High energy costs often contribute to unsustainable operating costs that directly affect the financial health of water supply and sanitation utilities and affordability of their services. This Program supports participating utility companies in collecting, auditing and analyzing data related to their energy use and developing investment programs based on that data to support the reduction of energy costs and increase energy efficiency. The Program also assists in securing the financial resources to match the investments needs for energy efficiency. The Program has been developed at the regional level in cooperation with the Technical Partner Econoler and is delivered by national or regional Hubs in local language. The duration of the Program is one year, and it consists of
workshops as well as hands-on exercises at the utilities themselves with support of the trainers. Participating utilities pay a registration fee, which is communicated by the Hub.
Set-up of Program
The Program is designed on learning-by-doing principles. It includes a mix of face-to-face training workshops providing tools and techniques to address the challenges faced and see them applied in practice, followed by on the job training, in which participating utilities apply the tools and techniques to their particular situation and develop concrete products (diagnostics, action plans etc.). The principles of blended learning are applied, i.e. face-to-face training is accompanied by e-learning material provided within the D-LeaP Academy.
