05 — Energy Penalty & Plant Ranking
Quantifies the annual energy cost of I&I at each plant, evaluates CIPP and private lateral remediation scenarios using cost-benefit analysis, and produces a composite severity ranking for capital planning prioritization.

Key Findings
- ● System-wide annual energy penalty from I&I ranges from $50K to $300K per plant depending on severity and plant size
- ● Private lateral programs show the highest BCR due to 50%+ I&I reduction at moderate cost per lateral
- ● Composite ranking combines RDII volume, energy penalty, CCF severity, and BCR into a defensible priority list
