About Us

Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) is California’s largest municipal utility, proudly serving more than 2.2 million residents and businesses across Los Angeles. With a commitment to sustainability, LADWP has made clean energy a cornerstone of its mission, investing in innovative programs that empower communities to generate their own power, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and protect the planet for future generations.
Through our suite of solar initiatives—Solar Rooftops, Shared Solar, Self-Generation Incentive Program, Solar Marketplace, Utility-Built Solar, Feed-In Tariff, and Feed-In Tariff Plus—LADWP delivers tailored solutions for homeowners, renters, and business owners. Each program is designed to reduce electricity costs, increase energy independence, and accelerate LA’s transition to 100% renewable power. Whether you live on a single-family roof or in a multifamily building, our programs provide a practical, affordable pathway to harness the city’s abundant sunshine.
Beyond savings, LADWP’s solar programs create local jobs and stimulate the green economy. Installation, maintenance, and oversight teams work with community partners, schools, and nonprofits to train and employ residents, fostering a skilled workforce that drives innovation. Every kilowatt of solar added through these programs reduces carbon emissions, protects air quality, and limits the need for new fossil-fuel plants, directly supporting LA’s climate goals and protecting the health of our neighborhoods.
Our integrated grid strategy ensures that each solar installation not only powers homes but also strengthens the entire LA power system. By distributing generation across neighborhoods, we reduce transmission losses, lower peak demand, and increase resilience against outages. LADWP’s commitment to smart grid technology—such as virtual net metering and advanced monitoring—provides customers with real-time data and automated billing, making the transition to clean energy seamless and hassle-free.
Join thousands of Los Angeles residents who are already enjoying lower bills, greener homes, and a cleaner planet. Whether you’re ready to install rooftop panels, lease a share of a community farm, or explore battery storage, LADWP’s solar experts will guide you every step of the way.
