WSAA Improving energy
outcomes – Project Outputs
From the Boardroom to the Depot
John Day North East Water
Background
• Urban water utilities are large users of energy (particularly
electricity ~$0.5B/year)
• Significant changes in the electricity sector, NEM,
government policies, rising prices
• Energy Management (EM) is a looming issue
• Growing expectations for operational cost containment, emissions
reduction
• Water utility staff need to be aware of the issue and improve
their capability
• 2016 WSAA EM Benchmarking Project (27 utilities) showed
major deficiency in EM Training and Development (EMTD)
• Improving Energy Outcomes is part of the response to
address this gap
A New Language
Project overview
Aim
• Help water utilities achieve improvements in energy
outcomes by enhanced internal capability through training
resources
Objectives
1. Develop Knowledge & Skills matrix to help identify required
competencies
2. Create an Energy Management Awareness level training
guide
3. Identify available and relevant energy training products and
services
Energy Management 101 Guide
• Awareness level introductory training course guide
• Could be delivered by internal trainer/facilitator, or guide for
individual learning
• Six modules, reflecting EM tasks likely to be undertaken by
different functions
• Module 1 is energy/ electricity basics; foundation
• Provides BASIC AWARENESS level knowledge and skills, NOT
detailed technical information. Introduces concepts, processes
and principles.
• For higher level learning - access training courses identified in
training inventory
