What does 'grid stability' refer to in LADWP’s operations?

Grid stability refers to the ability to maintain a consistent and reliable electricity supply across the power grid. This concept encompasses ensuring that the balance between electricity supply and demand is maintained in real-time, thus preventing outages and ensuring that consumers receive a stable voltage and frequency in their electrical supply. Consistent electricity supply is crucial for the functioning of various services and industries, and grid stability involves not just technical adjustments, but also strategic planning and investments in technology to manage fluctuations and potential disturbances effectively. Ensuring grid stability plays a vital role in the overall reliability of the electrical system operated by LADWP, allowing it to meet consumer needs efficiently. This focus on stable electricity supply is fundamental to the operations of any utility, as maintaining consumer trust and satisfaction largely hinges on the reliability of service provided.
