Los Angeles Department of Water and Power on Clean Energy Transition

Los Angeles Department of Water and Power General Manager Marty Adams joins Public Utilities Fortnightly and Guidehouse to discuss its journey to net zero

As the nation’s largest municipal utility, more than 4 million residents receive their energy service from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP). In this publication of Public Utilities Fortnightly (PUF), Guidehouse’s Chris Rogers joined PUF in discussion with Marty Adams, General Manager of LADWP to discuss how the organization is successfully moving forward to a clean energy future.

"In L.A. about 40% of the people are at poverty level. Others may have different preconceived ideas of water and energy issues stemming from experiences in their home countries. So, we are developing new programs and engaging and doing a lot of outreach in a wide variety of languages. So far, the results have been positive."
