Commitment to Sustainability
LADWP has taken pride in its ability to provide reliable water and power supplies to the City of Los Angeles.
Greening the Grid
LADWP is moving forward with a comprehensive plan to green the grid through a steady process of increasing its use of renewable energy and reducing fossil fuel-based resources.
Developing a Local Water Supply
With its semi-arid climate and little native water resources, the City of Los Angeles relies upon importing water from hundreds of miles away. Recent regulatory restrictions on importing water from the Delta, coupled with environmental restoration in the Eastern Sierra, have triggered the need to develop more locally sustainable resources.
Greening our Economy
Through its investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency, smart grid and other clean technologies, the LADWP expects to serve as a catalyst for economic growth in green jobs and industries.
