LOS ANGELES (November 5, 2020)-– Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) and Los Angeles World Airports broke ground on Receiving Station X(RS-X) on Thursday, November 4 to mark an important power reliability project for LAX and the greater traveling public.
This critical piece of infrastructure is a great demonstration of collaboration and partnership between two Los Angeles sister agencies. RS-X will support LAWA’s modernization plans by providing redundant power to all of the airport’s major facilities.
RS-X is the first high-voltage receiving station built in the City of LA in 33 years.
