The agreement is part of LADWP's Power System Reliability Program (PSRP) to renew aging infrastructure and advance the clean energy transition.

Under the agreement, Stantec will serve as one of the Owner’s Representatives, providing a range of services, including transmission planning studies, reliability assessments, and economic evaluations. The firm will also offer consulting services for construction, maintenance, safety, quality assurance, testing, and commissioning as needed.
