  • This label does not reflect compliance with the Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS), which measures the use of tracking instruments called Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) over the course of multi-year compliance reports. RECs that are purchased separately from the renewable energy ("Unbundled RECs") can be used for RPS compliance, but do not factor into the power mixes or GHG emissions intensities above.
  • GHG intensity figures exclude biogenic Co2 and emissions from geothermal sources and grandfathered imports of firmed-and-shaped energy. For detailed information about all GHG emissions from California's retail electricity suppliers, visit the CEC webpage at the link below.
  • Unspecified power is electricity purchased from a genericized pool on the open market.
  • The unbundled RECs retired in association with LADWP’s 2024 electricity portfolios were sourced from eligible renewable energy generators such as biomass, biogas, geothermal, eligible hydroelectric, solar, and wind energy resources.
