Water and wastewater systems are no longer just infrastructure—they are powerful, untapped energy assets hiding in plain sight.In this episode of the Smells Like Money Podcast, we explore the water–energy nexus and how thermal energy networks are reshaping the future of utilities, cities, and the electric grid. Building on our previous geothermal discussion, this conversation dives into how drinking water and wastewater systems can meet up to 50% of building energy demand while reducing grid strain, funding infrastructure upgrades, and creating long-term economic value.We discuss why water, wastewater, and thermal energy must be treated as one integrated utility, not separate silos—and how this shift is becoming urgent as EV adoption rises, infrastructure ages, and workforce shortages grow. You’ll hear real-world municipal examples, insights into state-level legislation, and how utilities can monetize existing assets without becoming traditional energy providers.If you’re a utility leader, policymaker, contractor, or anyone curious about how infrastructure can do more with what it already has, this episode will change how you think about water.Key topics covered:- What the water–energy nexus really means—and why it matters now- How thermal energy networks reduce electric grid stress- Why wastewater systems are becoming clean energy hubs- The role of integrated utilities in resilient communities- Policy, labor, and clean-energy alignment driving change- Preparing utilities for the next wave of infrastructure demandThis episode also sets the stage for the final part of our geothermal series, where we shift focus to private industry, industrial water reuse, and cooling applications.The future of energy isn’t just electric—it’s thermal, integrated, and already flowing beneath our feet.Connect With Jay Egg:President & Founder: Egg GeoEmail: [email protected]: https://www.linkedin.com/in/egggeothermalairconditioning/Website: egggeo.comI hope you find this episode as informative and as exciting as we have.Please let us know your thoughts about the episode!Connect with Suzan Chin-Taylor, host of The DooDoo Diva's Smells Like Money Podcast:Website: www.creativeraven.com | https://thetuitgroup.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/creativeraven/Email: [email protected] Telephone: +1 760-217-8010Listen and subscribe here to your favorite platform:Apple Podcast - Google Podcast - Cast Box - Overcast - Pocket Casts - YouTube - Spotifyhttps://creativeraven.com/smells-like-money-podcast/ Subscribe to the Podcast:https://creativeraven.com/smells-like-money-podcast/Be a guest on our show:https://calendly.com/thetuitgroup/be-a-podcast-guestCheck Out my NEW Digital Marketing E-Course & Coaching Program just for Wastewater Pros:https://store.thetuitgroup.com/diy-digital-marketing-playbook-for-wastewater-pros#SmellsLikeMoneyPodcast #WaterEnergyNexus #ThermalEnergyNetworks #GeothermalEnergy #IntegratedUtilities #WaterInfrastructure #CleanEnergy #UtilityInnovation #FutureOfEnergy #WastewaterIndustry

Wastewater treatment plants are hiding one of the most powerful renewable energy sources in plain sight—and it could change how cities power themselves.In this episode of The DooDoo Divas’ Smells Like Money Podcast, we explore how the consistent, year-round thermal energy flowing through wastewater systems can be captured and reused to heat and cool buildings, reduce operating costs, and create long-term revenue opportunities for utilities and municipalities.We break down how geothermal heat recovery and Thermal Energy Networks (TENs) transform wastewater from a costly operational necessity into a clean energy asset. From powering individual buildings to supporting entire communities, this conversation challenges traditional thinking around wastewater infrastructure and reveals how treatment plants can become sustainable energy hubs.Whether you work in wastewater, water utilities, engineering, infrastructure, or municipal leadership, this episode offers a forward-looking perspective on decarbonization, cost savings, and future-ready cities.🔑 In This Episode, We Discuss:- Why wastewater maintains a stable temperature year-round—and why that matters- How geothermal systems and Thermal Energy Networks work- How WWTP effluent can be used for both heating and cooling- Real-world examples showing major energy savings and decarbonization impact- How wastewater utilities can shift from cost centers to revenue-generating assets- The role of utilities, private partners, and federal incentives in scaling clean energy solutions🌱 Why This MattersWastewater treatment plants are among the largest energy consumers in municipalities, yet they also hold enormous untapped potential.
