Water infrastructure is among the biggest users of electricity in many municipalities. This policy brief makes recommendations to government (national, provincial and local) for cleaner energy (renewable energy and energy efficiency) policies related to municipal waterworks and their operations.
This step-by-step guide suggests the key elements that municipal officials need to consider to implement clean energy/energy efficiency projects in waterworks or other municipal operations. It provides information on developing strategies, formulating plans, providing adequate capacity and mobilising resources for successful origination and implementation of a project.
