Metropolitan Water District of Southern California Augments ZG’s Contract for Various Services

Metropolitan Water District (MWD) is a public agency and a regional water wholesaler. MWD consists of 26 member agencies that purchase some or all of their water from MWD. These member agencies and their sub-agencies provide water for 19 million people across six Southern California. ZG has been scheduling MWD hydro and pump resources. In July 2021, MWD augmented the contract, expanding services by providing resource adequacy forecasts and market impacts from regulatory policy changes. The long-range landscape for demand response and renewable resources will also be assessed to maximize value of contract options.
