Committees
CMUA is proud to offer members a number of active committees:
Electric Transportation
With many challenges on the horizon for electric transportation, a new CMUA Electric Transportation committee was established to discuss and follow a number of important issues, including the Plug-in Electric Vehicle Collaborative, the State’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard electricity fuel tradable credit, ratepayer and infrastructure impacts, funding, smart meters and sub-metering issues, outreach, the coordination with auto manufacturers and utility customers, and energy storage. This committee will meet quarterly.

Energy Services
The Energy Services Committee advances energy services and marketing as an effective strategy for serving the energy needs of consumer-owned utility customers in a cost-effective, enviornmentally sensitive manner by providing a forum through CMUA member utilities. The committee promotes a variety of effective communication strategies on energy programs, pricing, and services.

Additionally, the Committee is charged with providing outreach and informational materials to members and the Legislature.

Legislative
CMUA’s Legislative Committee is the primary policy committee of the Association. During each two year session of the California Legislature, the Legislative Committee reviews the more than 3,000 bills introduced each year. As a result, CMUA takes positions on hundreds of bills affecting publicly owned water, gas and electric utilities. The Committee works primarily on a consensus basis.

Regulatory
The Regulatory Committee directs CMUA positions and serves as forum for CMUA member discussion on energy and water related regulatory issues that may have an impact on member operations. These issues include, but are not limited to, the Renewable Electricity Standards, the proposed Cap and Trade program, California Air Board Scoping Plan proposals for both water and publically owned utilities and implementation of the Delta Package.
