South Australian Water's energy strategy is based around the water utility being the primary electricity consumer in South Australia. Accounting for approximately 10% of the total energy demand for the region annually, or roughly 150 megawatts.
As part of SA Water's Zero Cost Energy Future project, over 150 megawatts of solar and 34 megawatt-hours of distributed battery energy storage have been installed, which has enabled the water utility to move toward spot market participation for energy consumption.
With PLEXOS, SA Water proactively manages price risk through more active power and water demand management, leveraging the flexibility within their wastewater and water systems to manage the load for both power and water systems.
