From August 2024 to the present, The KWSSIP project aims to enhance energy efficiency and introduce renewable energy solutions at the Dhabeji Pumping Complex (DPC) to improve power reliability and reduce costs. The first phase includes a detailed investment-grade energy audit of DPC’s pumping stations, focusing on energy efficiency measures (EEMs) and identifying opportunities for load management and renewable energy integration. These measures seek to create a pathway for future energy interventions, leveraging private financing through public-private partnerships (PPP). The project’s main objectives are to establish a robust energy baseline, assess load management potential, evaluate renewable energy options like solar PV systems, and explore ESCOS engagement for sustained energy savings.
PITCO assesses EEMs identified in previous audits, update baseline data, and documents potential savings and investments. This includes reviewing energy tariffs, power quality issues, and identifying renewable energy options, such as rooftop and ground-mounted solar PV systems. Analyse load management strategies to shift operations to off-peak times, thereby reducing costs and easing pressure on the grid. Renewable energy studies will explore feasible solar and hydro turbine installations. Present findings and recommendations in a final report and dissemination workshop to guide KW&SB’s long-term energy reduction goals and foster a capacity-building initiative within KWSSIP.
