Siemens drives energy efficiency in the water, sewerage and desalinisation 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. The provision of water uses ~4% of the world’s electrical energy, with up to 85% of water treatment being achieved through pumping. Ageing infrastructure, climate change and stricter regulations increase costs and 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 to maintain a reliable, cost-effective water supply and wastewater disposal.
Water networks consume 32% of total energy used by water and sewerage 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-labour 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 sewerage utilities across design, energy management and operations. Our solutions help optimise 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 towards net zero.
Reduce energy costs and improve plant performance with efficient pump control, digital twin optimisation and zero investment. Siemens solutions deliver sustainable, cost-effective sewerage operations.
Digital technologies drive decarbonisation 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 to achieve your goals.
