GEI Launches National Water-Energy Advisory Services
GEI Consultants Inc. announced July 16 the launch of its national water-energy advisory services that will complement GEI's well-established water resources consulting services. This new practice will focus on helping clients achieve the incremental resource, economic and environmental benefits at the nexus between water and energy.
Services will include efficient development, treatment, use and reuse of water and energy resources. Activities will encompass policies, regulations, programs, practices and technologies that address all three dimensions of the water-energy nexus: reducing water sector impacts on energy, reducing energy sector impacts on water and optimizing the nation's water and energy resources and infrastructure on a fully integrated basis.
In addition to increasing water and energy efficiencies, GEI will assist water agencies and energy utilities in partnering on development of renewable and other energy resources. GEI will also help to accelerate adoption of new efficient technologies that benefit both the water and energy sectors.
GEI will bring water agencies and energy utilities together with their policymakers, regulators, customers and stakeholders to develop collaborative approaches for optimizing water and energy on a combined basis.
