Why Pump Energy Savings Should Matter to Utilities
Utilities have a two-fold relationship with energy efficiency. On one side, public and private utilities gain from finding efficiencies in energy usage to reduce costs in their own operations just like many other businesses. The U.S. Department of Energy’s 2002 Motor Market Assessment established that pumping systems offer the greatest optimization potential of all types of fluid systems, offering savings up to 75% with an average net savings of 20.1%. Since then, technological advancements may have boosted the potential for energy savings even more.

A key part of Europump’s remit to serve the Europe-wide pump industry is to stage regular meetings of its internal Commissions.
Traditionally these gatherings have been hosted by one of its member organisations, and so have visited numerous European cities over the years. However, with the current level of Covid induced restrictions, a virtual approach needed to be adopted for its latest set of meetings.
The individual Standards and Technical Commission Meetings were staged during the week of 11th January 2021 and were attended by a record number of representatives from the national trade associations including National Secretaries and company experts that make-up the full Europump membership.
