Legal Frameworks for Renewable Energy
Renewable energies (RE) hold the key to a climate friendly energy future and an energy supply that is sustainable and secure in the long term. Since the Bonn Renewable Energy Conference in 2004, numerous developed and developing countries have increasingly set targets for the utilisation of renewable energies in meeting their power supply needs. In order to reach their targets, many countries have designed and implemented a variety of policies, strategies and instruments. Our initial assessment was that only a few countries had implemented these comprehensively enough to reach their self-set targets.

Recommended Electrical Network Design For Efficient Plant And Energy Operations
Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) operators face major challenges. Water is the world’s most widely consumed product. Everywhere it is a strategic resource. Everywhere it needs to be carefully stewarded and managed to meet the challenges of:
• access to clean drinking water for all,
• water pollution and sustainable treatment,
• regulatory and environmental issues, even more stringent (exacting standards and regulations for water quality, energy conservation and reduced waste and emissions). WWTP designers and operators are at the forefront of the two first challenges. And they have to confront these challenges on a fiercely competitive, cost-constrained water market.

Wastewater Management Fact Sheet Energy Conservation
INTRODUCTION
Continual increases in energy costs in the United States affect wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) just as they do other facilities. Energy costs can account for 30 percent of the total op[1]eration and maintenance (O&M) costs of WWTPs (Carns 2005), and WWTPs account for approximately 3 percent of the electric load in the United States. Furthermore, as populations grow and environmental requirements become more stringent, demand for electricity at such plants is expected to grow by approximately 20 percent over the next 15 years (Carns 2005). Energy conservation is thus an issue of increas[1]ing importance to WWTPs. This fact sheet describes possible practices that can be imple[1]mented to conserve energy at a WWTP.
