Each year, LADWP celebrates our largest customers’ achievements in electrification, efficiency, and conservation at our annual Sustainability Awards event. Launched in 2016 and hosted by our Key Accounts Section, the Sustainability Awards recognize our commercial, governmental, and institutional customers’ significant positive environmental impacts achieved through participation in our rebate programs. Since the event’s inception, we have honored more than 100 of our largest customers at this event.
By keeping water and electric use efficient, and by adopting electric vehicles and installing chargers, our largest customers are able to save on costs, conserve natural resources, and contribute to the environmental goals of the City of Los Angeles.
In 2024, our Key Accounts Section hosted the 9th annual event on April 17 and honored 19 customers for their significant achievements in Energy Efficiency, Water Conservation, Electrification of Transportation, and Demand Response. Learn more about our 2024 event, and current and past awardees.
