Energy plays a key role in all organizations, particularly those that are energy intensive. A comprehensive study to establish and investigate, energy balances for a specific plant unit has been conducted. In this study electrical energy assessment of a water treatment plant has been successfully completed. Jai Hind Jal Prakalpa water treatment plant located at Dhapa, Kolkata in India was selected for this study. From the energy point of view there is a financial loss in the monthly electricity bill of the plant and this may be rectified if suitable steps are taken. It is observed that by proper utilization of electricity, approximately 11.5% of electricity charges may be saved which amount approximately rupees four lakh per month.
