YTL's 2nd Climate Change Week 2008
Kuala Lumpur, 12 April 2008
"This year, our Wessex Water has increased the total amount of renewable energy generated from 21GWh to 25.8GWh. This is indeed significant because it equates to almost 39% of our total energy use, compared with the national water industry figure of 14% in 2005 and 2006. Following the increase in our use of renewable energy over the last 2 years, the levels of all emissions have fallen considerably. For example, the level of sulphur dioxide we emit each year has been reduced by over 60% in the last decade. With these results, we are pleased to say that Wessex Water is currently meeting our target path of reducing emissions by 60% between 1990 and 2050, as prescribed in the UK Climate Change Bill." said Tan Sri (Dr.) Francis Yeoh

Water is fundamental to the health of people and to the health of the environment. Capital investment by Wessex last year was £180m, with all projects tested against green benchmarks. The additional cash will be used at its Bristol sewage treatment works to double the amount of renewable energy it produces using methane from sludge,' says the chairman and CEO of Wessex Water, Colin Skellett.
