  1. Opportunities at the California Water-Energy Nexus Frank Loge Professor Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering University of California Davis

  2. The Information Bottleneck • California leading state in water-energy activity • AB 32 • CPUC Guidance • WET-CAT • But limited by availability of actionable data

  3. Saving Energy with Water Energy Efficiency of Water System Energy Savings through Water Efficiency

  4. Case Study: East Bay MUD • Results: • 10-12% monthly variation around the annual mean • >12X difference across the distribution network

  5. The Complexity • Multiple scales • Multiple and overlapping jurisdictions

  6. Opportunities • ANALYTICS • Water Benefits • Water Use Benchmarking • Targeted Conservation • Leak Loss Detection • Monitoring and Verification • Energy Benefits • Energy Intensity • Demand Response • Peak Shaving/Shifting • Energy Storage • Monitoring and Verification

  7. Next Steps • Aligning Water and Energy Data • Common data platform • Security and privacy provisions • Suite of analytics • Funding (e.g., PGC) • Stakeholder engagement • Drive Innovation in Policy, Technology, and Business Models
