First-Ever Sustainability Awards to Become an Annual Tradition
LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) held its first Sustainability Awards Program on April 7 at the La Kretz Innovation Campus in the Downtown Los Angeles Arts District. The program was established to recognize a high level commitment to environmental sustainability and honors LADWP large non-residential customers who completed major efficiency and conservation projects and received rebates in 2015.

“These valued customers deserve recognition and praise for their strong efforts to become more sustainable,” said LADWP General Manager Marcie Edwards. “I sincerely thank and congratulate each recipient for taking significant steps to reduce their water usage and carbon footprints.”

The program includes awards in four distinct categories: Energy Management, Water Management, Electrification of Transportation (LADWP’s Charge Up L.A. Program) and Renewable Power. The LADWP Premier Account Management group determines the top 5 customers in each category. Earning the number 1 spot, by category, is:

  • UCLA for Energy Management,
  • Anthem Blue Cross for Water Management,
