Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA)

Presentation by Martha Davis, Executive Manager for Policy Development, at the CEC Water-Energy Relationship Workshop.

The California Energy Commission (CEC) is examining the state’s “Water-Energy Relationship” through its 2005 Integrated Energy Policy Report (IEPR). Concurrently, the U.S. DOE National Laboratories are studying the "Water+Energy Nexus" at a national level.

Water-related energy consumption already accounts for more than 10% of the state's total energy consumption and peak demand. This energy use sector is expected to grow significantly over the next 5-10 years due to a combination of:

Continuing high urban growth;

Increasingly stringent water quality rules requiring multi-stage disinfection with high energy technologies such as UV and ozonation;

Increasingly stringent wastewater discharge regulations requiring upgrade to tertiary treatment; and

The attached presentation by Martha Davis informed the CEC and concerned stakeholders about IEUA's considerable energy challenges, and the comprehensive energy self sufficiency strategies it is deploying through CALeep and other programs to reduce the impacts of its Water+Energy Nexus on the California electric grid and other ratepayers.
