Siemens drives energy efficiency in the water, wastewater and desalination industry. From smart design to efficient operation, we help utilities cut costs, improve performance and meet ISO 50001 compliance across the lifecycle.
Water utilities face pressure to operate more efficiently and sustainably. It uses ~4% of the world’s electrical energy, with pumping up to 85% in water treatment. Aging infrastructure, climate change and stricter regulations increase costs & complexity, demanding future-ready, integrated solutions.
Energy costs account for up to 40% of operational expenses for drinking water systems, according to Applied Energy. Energy-efficient solutions help maintain a reliable, cost-effective water supply and wastewater disposal.
Water networks consume 32% of total energy used by water and wastewater infrastructure, according to QWI WaterData. Integrated hardware, software and services provide full visibility and give insights to reduce energy use.
Electricity costs range from 33% to 82% of non-labor OPEX for water utilities, according to the World Bank Group. Energy-efficient solutions accelerate the path to net zero operations and help future-proof infrastructure.
Siemens supports wastewater utilities across design, energy management and operations. Our solutions help optimize plant layout, integrate renewables, assess energy use and reduce operational costs for long-term efficiency and sustainability.
Enhance new plant designs or upgrades to reduce energy use and total cost of ownership (TCO). Siemens software and consulting improve power, piping, pump design, process and automation for resilient, energy-efficient plants.
From ISO 50001-compliant monitoring to renewables integration, Siemens delivers hardware, software and services to track energy use, reveal savings opportunities and guide you toward Net Zero.
Reduce energy costs and improve plant performance with efficient pump control, Digital Twin optimization and zero invest. Siemens solutions deliver sustainable, cost-effective wastewater operations.
Digital technologies drive decarbonization and energy efficiency in the water sector. This white paper "Accelerating towards net zero" by Global Water Intelligence shares how technology, a three-step roadmap and collaboration can help you achieve your goals.
