Scenario
The aim in WEO-2018 is to quantify the energy needs of SDG 6, the water needs of the
energy-related SDGs & to assess the links and synergies between these objectives
A new strategy for energy & sustainable development

SDG 6: Clean water and sanitation for all
6.1: Universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all
6.2: Universal access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open
defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girls
6.3: Improve water quality by reducing pollution, halve the proportion of untreated wastewater and
substantially increase recycling and safe reuse globally
6.4: Increase water-use efficiency across all sectors, ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply for
freshwater to address water scarcity and lower number of people suffering from water scarcity
6.5: Implement Integrated Water Resource Management at all levels
6.6: Protect and restore water-related ecosystems
6 A/B: Expand international cooperation and capacity-building support to developing countries and
strengthen participation by local communities

Providing clean water requires energy
Electricity demand in the water sector, New Policies Scenario
As freshwater availability increasingly becomes a constraint in some areas, is it possible to
provide access to clean water without incurring a significant energy penalty?

The wastewater sector is a significant energy consumer
Global electricity consumption in municipal wastewater treatment
Will meeting Target 6.2 & 6.3 dramatically increase electricity demand or can developing
countries leapfrog in terms of the systems used & chart a more sustainable path?

Key questions for our ongoing work
How much energy will be required to achieve Target 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3?
How will this differ between rural and urban areas?
What potential solutions and technologies can attain multiple SDG targets at once?
Can developing countries leapfrog in terms of the systems and technologies they put
in place?
How can advancements in recycling and reuse and energy efficiency and energy
recovery in wastewater in developed countries be put into practice?
What is the energy production potential from wastewater under these targets?
How can smart project design and technology solutions increase the efficiency of water
use in the energy sector and help achieve Target 6.4?
What actions is the energy sector already taking?
What opportunities exist to co-ordinate water use or reuse with other sectors?
