Consumers at the Water/Energy Nexus

N/A
Presented November 2010

Jeremy Fisher presented “Consumers at the Water/Energy Nexus” at the NASUCA Annual Conference on November 16, 2010. The presentation focuses on how to protect electricity and water consumers in a water-constrained world with measures such as requiring long-term water resource planning, pricing water by its social value for planning purposes (not by the utility’s contractual cost or a price of $0), and stress testing cross-sectoral plans by investigating how operations and consumer welfare will be affected under low water, high temperature conditions.
