After three years of analysis by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the Los Angeles 100% Renewable Energy Study (LA100)is complete and confirms that a 100% renewable power system is achievable! More importantly, LA100 also highlights the importance of customer participation in programs like energy efficiency, electric vehicles and solar in order to achieve our goals and meet L.A.'s clean energy targets.
Join us at an upcoming virtual community meeting later this month to learn more about the LA100 results: key findings, costs, next steps and more. Visit ladwp.com/LA100 for more about the study, meeting details and to register.
We're offering up to $50,000 in a grant to local non-profits to help raise awareness and participation in our Shared Solar Program, and LADWP's goal to achieve 100% renewable energy. The deadline to apply is Tuesday, May 18, 2021, by 3:00 p.m. Learn more at www.ladwp.com/np
Graduations and other celebrations are fast approaching and balloons remain popular gifts for these special occasions.

If you see a Mylar balloon that has contacted a power line, keep yourself, your equipment, and all other items and people, at least 20 feet away. Always assume the power lines are energized. Report it by calling 1-800-DIAL-DWP.
