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.
