The CEE National Municipal Water and Wastewater Facility Initiative endeavors to increase the demand for energy efficiency in water and wastewater treatment and distribution. The initiative encourages suppliers of products and services to adopt energy efficiency as a standard industry practice. Toward that end, CEE pursues the following activities:

• Raise awareness among senior-level decision-makers about the benefits of energy efficiency in their facilities
• Focus CEE members on key process opportunities for energy savings
• Support the development of an industry-wide metric to measure the energy performance of water and wastewater facilities
• Develop cooperative relationships with industry stakeholders and their trade associations
