Identification of Barriers to Energy Efficiency and Solutions to Promote These Practices

The information presented in this report builds on the Water Environment Federation’s Energy Roadmap (WEF, 2013) framework by tracing the path of a successful energy program and identifying common barriers and strategies that promote progress along that path. The research included a national survey of more than 110 wastewater service utilities which provided their input on those barriers along with the outcomes of utility focus groups designed to capture detailed experiences.
