Are there natural gas embedded energy savings impacts? Can they be measured?
How the pilot would answer: The study would analyze data provided by water and gas utilities, and will look at impacts both in and out of the gas utilities service territory to determine if there is savings potential, especially given that the CEC report did not examine gas impacts. 10) What is the total water-embedded energy saved by measures? What is the impact at the local level and statewide? What methodologies can be developed to calculate and/or attribute those energy savings to utilities and other energy providers? How the pilot would answer: Included in the study. Economic Potential 1) What is the cost-effectiveness of counting the embedded energy: 1) in the utility service territory; 2) saved across all utility territories, and 3) of the entire statewide water cycle? How the pilot would answer: The study would explore how the cost-effectiveness changes under different scenarios, as well as various policy options for attributing costs and savings (e.g. can policies be developed
