Joint Comments on UC Davis Whitepaper Aug 1, 2016 Comment Letters Agency: UC Davis Center for Water-Energy Efficiency Subject: ACWA and CMUA Comments on UC Davis Center for Water-Energy Efficiency’s Draft Whitepaper “Establishing a Cloud-Based Water and Energy Data Platform” Other signatory: California Municipal Utilities Association Letter excerpt: ACWA and CMUA member agencies recognize that sharing data with other water agencies, energy utilities and external stakeholders can provide multiple benefits. In fact, many water agencies already are or have plans to pursue innovative partnerships with their energy counterparts. However, the draft white paper identified some significant barriers that stakeholders will need to address in collaboration, and we look forward to working with entities like the California Data Collaborative and UC Davis Center for Water-Energy Efficiency to explore those opportunities. Considering that the June 2016 workshop upon which this white paper was developed was jointly noticed under the Water-Energy Nexus proceeding at the CPUC, we assert that this draft paper should not be considered final or issued until we receive a response in regards to the comments that we have outlined above, or our comments are incorporated into the final white paper to fully reflect the varied perspectives from all workshop participants that were in attendance.
