Riventa to lead on massive Welsh Water asset management survey
6 May 2023
Utility company Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water has commissioned systems expert Riventa to test the efficiency of 424 of its wastewater pumps at 132 treatment works.
As part of its commitment to managing net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, the water firm is hoping to evaluate asset performance and reduce energy.
Riventa said the two year project would enable it to identify inefficiencies and enable Welsh Water to address poor assets, driving investment and refurbishments to improve performance.
Energy projects analyst at Welsh Water, Andrew Heygate-Browne, said:
“As one of the largest energy users in Wales, with a gross energy bill of £77 million in 2021/22, we recognise the need to reduce our energy consumption and play a significant role in Welsh Government’s decarbonisation targets for Wales.
“Working with Riventa to ensure our pumps operate as efficiently as possible is one of several critical steps we’re taking towards D?r Cymru Welsh Water achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040.”
