Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy

With previous support from the Hewlett Foundation, the RePower LA Program built a coalition of forty environmental organizations, unions, neighborhood councils, businesses, and others that successfully persuaded the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power to significantly increase its energy efficiency goal. With continued support, the Program will work to ensure that the utility is on track to meet its energy efficiency goals, and expand to include a bigger push for a utility rooftop solar program. This additional energy efficiency and renewable energy will help the utility transition from coal-fired power generation, without having to build new natural gas plants.
