We are proud to provide a sustainable, affordable, clean and safe water supply and to manage and treat the waste water returned to us in a way that protects the environment.
The company is managing energy consumption and cost through seven strands of activity.
• Physical efficiency of pumps and equipment.
• Optimisation of our networks.
• Procurement.
• Billing management/monitoring.
• Procedures and standards.
• Employee awareness.
• Renewable energy generation.
We will reduce costs by:
• Efficient and innovative purchasing of energy (flexible purchasing).
• Optimising fixed energy supply costs (e.g. service capacity).
• Operating equipment in lower tariff periods.
• Reducing grid electricity import during Triad warning periods (generation, load shed).
• Using generating assets at high tariff periods (peak lopping).
We will offset costs by:
• Using generating assets for Strategic Operating Reserve (STOR) contracts.
• Claiming Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROCs) on renewable generation.
• Claiming Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) on compliant equipment installations.
We will reduce kWh’s, indirect CO2 emissions and cost by:
• Optimisation of plant and process operation.
• Improving the physical efficiency of equipment.
• Using the most efficient equipment and equipment combinations.
• Training our staff to be aware of energy saving opportunities around plant and offices.
We will reduce indirect CO2 emissions and cost by:
• Increasing output from our existing renewable generators.
• Expanding our renewable generating asset base.
We will reduce indirect CO2emissions by:
• Purchasing Climate Change Levy (CCL) exempt grid electricity.
• Self generation of power on site.
