SECTION 2: INTRODUCTION <br />kits-iffe-im <br />INTRODLIC7 <br />,1 <br />The City of Santa Ana Public Works Agency operates a water distribution system to deliver potable water to <br />45,000 meters throughout the city, using a series of pipes, pumps, tanks and wells. The Agency delivers an <br />average of 33.5 million gallons per day (MGD) of water, purchasing 18,000,000 kWh of electricity annually to <br />operate the pumps and other loads. The Agency's average electric load is a little over 2 megawatts. This <br />electricity is purchased from Southern California Edison through meters at pump stations and wells on several <br />different rate schedules. The GHG released in the generation of this electricity, based on the average Southern <br />California Edison (SCE) rates used in the Santa Ana Climate Action Plan, is 0.286 metric tons of CO2 equivalent <br />per Megawatt hour (MWh), or a total of 5,148 metric tons per year. <br />This report evaluates the potential to generate renewable electricity to offset some of the cost of this pumping <br />power and to reduce the GHG impact of this electricity use. <br />The two local renewable resources evaluated in this report are the generation of solar power with photovoltaic <br />(PV) modules mounted on storage tanks and carports at the City Yard, and the recovery of head from water <br />delivered to the city system by the Metropolitan Water District. <br />°Ie�W��coi Alt) � �sJCiQui.in �f�,�lCC01 um�ii�:.11 26 — 63 a�I3" ?939 1.11 N <br />PREVIEW Date: Nov 03, 2021 Workspace ID: WS00800354 Funding Opportunity Number: R22AS00023 <br />
