This monograph resulted from research and discussions conducted by the RTI International Energy Grand Challenge Working Group, which formed in 2009 within the framework of the RTI Fellows Program’s Grand Challenge Initiatives. These initiatives confront major, urgent challenges facing the United States (and, indeed, humanity) that can benefit from the kind of integrated, multidisciplinary analysis that a diverse, independent research institute like RTI can provide.

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.

Water and Wastewater Energy Best Practice Guidebook
Executive Summary
The objective of this Water and Wastewater Industry Energy Best Practice Guidebook is to provide information and resources to assist water/wastewater management and staff in identifying and implementing opportunities to reduce energy use. The information in this guidebook will help managers, administrators and/or operators to identify opportunities to significantly reduce energy requirements at their facilities without affecting production. It also provides the user with information on the value and need for proactive energy management with water and wastewater systems.
Contents include:
- Benchmarking results from selected Wisconsin wastewater facilities
- Best practice approaches to on-going management of energy use
- Documentation of technical best practices for planning, designing and operating water/wastewater system treatment and for conveyance and distribution
- Best practice funding and financing opportunities
- References for further opportunities in water/wastewater system energy efficiency and power demand reduction
