AI Contract Overview

The Zero Emissions Port Electrification of Operations and Grid Reliability Project, managed by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, is designed to expand electrical sub-transmission and distribution capacity at the Port of Los Angeles. This initiative supports the Clean Air Action Plan goals of achieving zero-emission cargo-handling equipment by 2030 and zero-emission trucks by 2035. The scope of work includes installing sixteen new 34.5 kilovolt underground distribution circuits, constructing three new switching stations, and installing a wet cooling tower at the Harbor Generating Station. Additionally, the project will expand the capacity of Receiving Stations Q and C to provide an additional 200 megavolt-amperes to ensure grid reliability and resilience during the transition to clean energy. Project execution is scheduled to occur between April 2026 and December 2030, with phased construction activities including demolition, foundation work, and commissioning across multiple sites such as Terminal Island, Harry Bridges, and the Outer Harbor. The project has undergone environmental review in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, resulting in a Negative Declaration stating that the project will not have a significant environmental effect. Coordination involves multiple agencies, including the Los Angeles Harbor Department and Caltrans, to manage permits for state right-of-way and oversized vehicle transportation.

Full Description

In 2017, the City of Los Angeles Harbor Department (LAHD) adopted the Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP) which outlined goals to make the Port of Los Angeles (POLA or Port) a global leader for cleaner air, sustainability, and innovation by electrifying port operations and reducing greenhouse gas emissions below 1990 levels by 40% in 2030 and 80% by 2050. POLA is expected to see increasing levels of electrical load growth and electrification as it adopts the CAAP zero-emission goals, zero-emission cargo-handling equipment (CHE) by 2030, and zero-emission trucks by 2035. CHE includes equipment that moves cargo (including cargo in containers, general cargo, and bulk cargo) to and from marine vessels, railcars, and on-road trucks. To support these goals, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) proposes to expand the capacity of the electrical sub-transmission and electric distribution system within POLA, known as the Zero Emissions Port Electrification of Operations (ZEPEO) Project. LADWP proposes to increase the capacity of electricity distribution within the POLA by installing sixteen (16) new 34.5 kilovolt (kV) underground distribution circuits. Electricity is currently supplied to POLA through Receiving Station (RS) - Q located at the Harbor Generating Station (HGS); however, RS-Q and RS-C (located in Wilmington) will need to increase their electrical capacity to provide the additional 200 megavolt-amperes (MVA) needed for the established port electrification goals. To accommodate the estimated increase in load, LADWP is proposing to expand the capacity of RS-Q and RS-C , install three new switching stations, and construct a wet cooling tower within HGS to maintain existing generation capacity to ensure the reliability and resilience of the City of Los Angeless electrical power system while additional renewable generation, energy storage, distributed generation, and transmission system improvements are implemented, thereby facilitating the transition to a clean energy future. Project construction is anticipated to start in April 2026 and is anticipated to conclude in December 2030.
