With distant water sources, SA Water’s energy needs are great and costly, leading to the development of the Zero Cost Energy Future Program. This integrated program involved seven initiatives to drive down costs and manage electricity into the future. Alana Duncker, Senior Principal Planning Engineer, discusses how we’re optimizing operational schedules for assets while balancing the complexities behind the meter, driving down costs, and delivering an easy-to-use application.
