Overview

Water and energy are highly interdependent (‘water-energy nexus’): energy is needed to abstract, distribute, heat, cool, treat and desalinate water while water is also needed for energy production and cooling systems. In the EU, the water and wastewater sectors account for 3.5% of electricity consumption. At the level of municipalities this takes the largest share of the local budget, representing 30-40% of the total electricity bill. During this session, a high-level panel of speakers discusses how to fully realize this energy saving potential in view of the recent and future policy and regulatory framework.
