本文定义了El Paso Water Utilities（EPWU）如何实施能源管理最佳实践，以 通过以下方式将电能成本降至最低: 分析与实施新项目相关的潜在节约和风险 适当地点的能量率和变化率； 与能源供应商合作，协商双赢率并实施 两个公用事业公司的需求/供应侧管理策略； 制定实施新能源管理战略的计划； 大幅改变水系统运行和控制策略，以实现 基于时间的电价的好处（以前电价持平）； 利用现场发电并实施减载策略以满足 与可中断率相关的要求； 与运维人员沟通能源管理的需求和策略计划； 使用SCADA测量和监控负荷，以做出能源管理决策；和 审核能源账单的准确性，并与计划的能源成本降低进行比较 基准。包括表格、数字。

This paper defines how El Paso Water Utilities (EPWU) implemented energy management best practices to substantially minimize electric energy costs by: analyzing the potential savings and risk associated with the implementation of new energy rates and changed rates at appropriate sites; working with the energy supplier to negotiate win-win rates and implement demand/supply side management strategies for both utilities; developing a plan to implement new energy management strategies; substantially changing water system operations and control strategies to achieve the benefits of time-based electric rates (rates were previously flat); utilizing on-site generation and implementing load reduction strategies to meet requirements associated with the interruptible rate; communicating the need and game-plan for energy management with O&M staff; measuring and monitoring load with SCADA to make energy management decisions; and, auditing energy bills for accuracy and comparing against planned energy cost reduction benchmarks. Includes tables, figures.
