Using innovative technology that enables equipment such as pumps, motors and blowers to automatically adjust their energy use second-by-second, the utility is providing vital fl exibility to the UK's energy system while delivering fi nancial benefi ts and carbon savings. The project has included two types of demand response - Dynamic Firm Frequency Response and Short Term Operating Reserve; as well as the fi nancial and environmental benefi ts, the data from the project has identifi ed further energy effi ciency opportunities for the utility across its asset base. WINNER RainScape – Welsh Water The Drainage and Flood Prevention Initiative of the Year award went to Dwr Cymru Welsh Water for its RainScape project, which has retrofi tted sustainable drainage and surface water separation features into the urban environment of Llanelli. The project includes green infrastructure and separate roof drainage separation at homes, local businesses and schools, as well as a new £1.3km stormwater tunnel through the centre of the town, all of which is reducing the burden of surface water on the sewer system. The scheme has separated surface water from the sewers in 42 hectares of the town, reducing peak fl ow in the sewer by 6,000 litres per second and signifi cantly improving fl ood resilience. Energy & Carbon Initiative of the Year What the judges said: "This is an initiative that connects natural capital with infrastructure in a way that delivered benefi ts for the whole community; it truly is an example for others in the water industry to follow." What the judges said: "This initiative shows how the water industry can play a positive role in the energy fi eld – it's not only ambitious, but it is really making it happen and delivering strong progress."
