Untitled design (1)

Offering solutions for water and wastewater means continuing to support water security for all Australians, in the most sustainable way, by upholding our commitment to supply energy efficient technologies that enable water authorities to meet their clean energy goals.


ABB in Australia is helping to save water and save energy, every day. When water security is essential, we'll support you in finding a customised solution to ensure your water is Always Flowing. Never Still.

Water authorities, suppliers and wastewater treatment plants are facing major problems related to escalating costs of electricity in operation, impactful pipe leakage causing revenue loss in unbillable water and additional finances going towards predictive and reactive maintenance on wastewater transfer stations. This is being recognised across all water and wastewater pumping, treatment, distribution, and discharge activities. 

As the cost of electricity to run plants continues to rise, more effort is being applied to find out where this can be reduced. Regulatory bodies are also implementing more conditions around sustainability to encourage water authorities and treatment plants to become more conscious of reducing energy consumption to lessen environmental impact.
