The California Energy Commission (Energy Commission), in conjunction with the Department of Water Resources (DWR) and the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board), will initiate a Water Energy Technology (WET) program to provide funding for technologies that meet certain criteria including significant water savings, energy savings, and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the areas of agriculture, commercial, residential, and water treatment and recovery.
The Energy Commission, DWR and the State Water Board are developing the WET program eligibility and application process. The WET program is scheduled to begin this summer. Full details on the program can be accessed via RCRC’s Drought webpage, here.
