On July 6th, 2011, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP, Los Angeles, California, U.S.) announced a proposal to re-launch its Solar Incentive Program (SIP) with USD 60 million in annual funding for the next three years, double the previous amount.

The utility also reviewed segments of a new program which it describes as a feed-in tariff, based on California's SB 32 legislation.

“During public workshops, we heard overwhelming support for expanding local solar power, including fully funding the SIP and launching a feed-in tariff program, to benefit customers, the environment and the green economy in Los Angeles," states LADWP Senior Assistant General Manager Aram Benyamin.

"These two initiatives, if approved, will work together to expand renewable energy within our service area and contribute to our renewable energy goal of 33 percent by 2020."
