About LADWP

Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) is the largest municipal utility in the US, serving approximately 1.4 million electric accounts in the City of Los Angeles. As a city-owned utility, LADWP operates under different oversight than investor-owned utilities — customer disputes are handled through the city's rate payer advocate and internal ombudsman.

Common LADWP billing issues

  • Tiered rate structure resulting in very high marginal costs in Tier 2 during summer
  • High-income surcharge (Lifeline rate exclusion) applied incorrectly to Lifeline accounts
  • Solar interconnection NEM credits calculated on wrong meter register
  • Meter read gaps during billing system transitions creating estimated bills
  • Multi-family master-metered accounts receiving single-family rate structure
  • Late fees assessed despite auto-pay enrollment confirmation
