The Australian Urban Water industry invested in renewable energy
To reduce energy costs and impacts in a carbon-constrained world
As a large user of energy, the water industry is playing its part for a cleaner energy future.

Utilities have and continue to implement renewable energy projects to meet growing energy demands and reduce costs and impacts. Contributions range from small to large-scale and include solar, mini-hydro, biogas generation, cogeneration and wind.
