Community Meetings for Proposed Electric Rates

To preserve our reliable infrastructure and continue the City’s pursuit of green initiatives, Glendale Water and Power is currently working on several initiatives and critical capital improvement projects, including:

• City Solar Energy & Storage Projects
• Scholl Canyon Renewable Biogas Project
• Grayson Energy Center Transformation Project
• Distribution System for Building Electrification and Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging
• 4kV to 12 kV Conversion of Distribution Lines

Based on a preliminary analysis, the implementation of these projects will necessitate an increase in electric rates. A comprehensive rate study by customer type will be presented to the Glendale City Council on November 7, 2023.

Keep Conserving Water, Glendale: It's a California Way of Life

Being water conscious in and around our homes, businesses, schools and landscapes is part of our So Cal way of life. We’ve been lucky enough to get rain in Glendale lately, but that doesn’t mean the water supply shortage is over. GWP will remain in Phase III of the Mandatory Water Conservation Ordinance, which limits outside watering to two days a week: Tuesday’s and Saturday’s for no more than 10 minutes at each watering station.

Water Conservation Tips:

• Keep sprinklers off for at least 2 days after it rains.

• Wash full loads in the dishwasher or washing machine.

• Install a low-flow showerhead. You can purchase one from our new marketplace by clicking here.

• Use a nozzle on your hose when washing your car.

• Repair leaks, replace damaged sprinkler heads, and adjust sprinklers to avoid over-spray.

• Use mulch under trees and plants to retain moisture.

• Water early in the morning or late at night.

2022 Power Content Label

As part of the California Energy Commission's Power Source Disclosure Program, we are required to inform our retail customers about the energy sources we use to provide electricity service, and the level of greenhouse gas emissions associated with our retail electricity portfolio. This is done through an annual Power Content Label.

For comparison, the label includes a summary of California's overall power mix during the same period. The resources mix is shown as a percentage of actual Retail Sales. 

Energy & Water Saving Rebates

New products, such as electric leaf blowers and electric bicycles, have been added to our Energy and Water Saving Rebate Program. This program helps our customers save money by offering rebates on eligible products. So, the next time you're in the market for a new appliance or water-saving device, look for the ENERGY STAR® symbol.
