AI Summary
This report assesses the methods used for calculating kilowatt-hours (kWh) per production point and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per electricity used at Tampa Bay Water sites. It finds that the kWh calculations lacked consideration for previous water year consumption, impacting reliability. The GHG emission calculations, based on energy consumption data, fossil fuel mix research, and operating statistics, are deemed generally correct but with minor approximations. The report suggests alternative standardized data sources for electric consumption data and GHG emissions data if EPA data is unavailable, including general electricity supply data, auto-generators surveys, and data from other agencies. It emphasizes observing environmental changes over time and considering the role of electric companies in controlling emissions. The report also mentions the possibility of using previous data and trend analysis to predict future GHG emissions.
