Primer to SWIFt 2.0 Technical Information Sheets

Summary

The U.S. wastewater infrastructure faces significant challenges, including an aging system rated D+ by civil engineers and high energy consumption, accounting for 0.8% of national electricity demand, amidst rising population and urbanization. The U.S. Department of Energy's SWIFt initiative aims to address these issues by accelerating the transition to sustainable infrastructure through four key pillars: energy capture, energy efficiency, resource recovery, and advanced data management. This initiative is currently in progress, providing technical assistance, workshops, and toolkits to help utilities improve energy efficiency and overall resiliency.
