LADWP is committed to transitioning to a clean energy future in an equitable manner so that all customers can benefit from carbon-free technologies, programs and policies, and no one is left behind.
Following the release of the groundbreaking Los Angeles 100% Renewable Energy Study (LA100), LADWP launched LA100 Equity Strategies to ensure the path to 100% carbon-free energy is equitable as well as achievable.
LA100 Equity Strategies, a two-year study in partnership with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and UCLA, brings together L.A.-based community justice organizations and stakeholders in a Steering Committee to guide this unprecedented effort.
Together with our research partners and Committee members, we conducted extensive community engagement, through Listening Sessions with representatives from underserved communities across L.A., as well as broader outreach through Community Meetings with communities across L.A.
The result, the LA100 Equity Strategies Report, provides a detailed analysis of L.A.’s clean energy investment inequities and identifies strategies in the form of policies and programs for the City of Los Angeles to address them.
