Los Angeles Department of Water and Power Integrated Resource Plan Workshop Webcast 2016-2036
The Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) serves as a 20-year roadmap to guide the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power in transforming its power system. Key objectives include eliminating coal power by 2025, achieving 50% renewable energy by 2030, attaining 15% energy efficiency by 2020, and enhancing system reliability through repowering and infrastructure investments. The plan also explores pathways to a 100% clean energy future, considering scenarios for fossil-free or greenhouse gas-neutral operations, with a focus on reliability, transmission, energy storage, and demand-side management, all while striving to maintain affordable rates and address environmental goals. This is a living document, updated annually, that incorporates public review and feedback.

Ladwp Board Of Commissioners Special Board Meeting
The special board meeting commenced with roll call confirming a quorum. Key procedural points involved deferring agenda items N6 and N24. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to public comment, featuring discussions on significant billing issues, including a resident receiving an excessive bill due to a malfunctioning meter over five years, which prompted the manager of customer relations to offer immediate assistance. Subsequent public comments centered heavily on congratulating President Richard Katz on his service and expressing strong support for the expansion of the Tilman Reclamation Facility. Speakers emphasized that this expansion and the resulting local water supply are critical for climate resilience and enabling the reduction of water diversions from Mono Lake to allow its elevation to recover to 6,392 feet. Advocates urged the commission to communicate this support to the State Water Resource Control Board.
