Project Description

The existing SWWP004-03 Water Pump Upgrade Measure Package has been approved through 12/31/2024, but the California Public Utilities commission (CPUC) has mandated that this Measure Package (MP) cannot continue beyond 2024 without a Market-Based Industry Standard Practice (ISP) Study compliant with the latest CPUC ISP Guidance v3.1 (CPUC Energy Division (file.ac)). Several programs utilize this MP and will benefit from the renewal of the MP past 2024. Additionally, the existing MP only includes pumps for clean water use, yet similar pump types are utilized in wastewater applications and undergo the same rigor of testing for Pump Energy Index (PEI) ratings. Hence, there is a pressing need for a similar MP to be developed for wastewater pumps to drive high efficiency pump adoption in the wastewater market segment. A previous CalNEXT ET study (ET23SWE0039: Wastewater Pump Measure Development) also recommended the creation of a deemed MP for wastewater pumps to address this market gap.  

 

This project will perform a Market-Based ISP Study for clean water pumps and will update the existing MP SWWHP004-03 with the appropriate industry-standard PEI.  This project will create a new MP for wastewater pumps or modify the existing MP to include wastewater pumps leveraging the previous CalNEXT study.
