How does LADWP generate electricity?

The generation of electricity by LADWP involves a diverse energy portfolio that includes hydroelectric, natural gas, and renewable sources. This mix allows for a more reliable and sustainable supply of electricity. Hydroelectric power plants harness energy from flowing water, while natural gas plants provide a flexible option for electricity generation that can quickly respond to fluctuating energy demands. Additionally, the inclusion of renewable resources, such as wind and solar energy, aligns with environmental goals and helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

By combining these various sources, LADWP is able to ensure a stable electricity supply while supporting initiatives aimed at increasing the use of cleaner energy. This approach also helps mitigate the risks associated with relying on a single type of energy source, making the energy grid more resilient and sustainable.
