Los Angeles is facing an alarming mix of challenges related to climate change. Droughts and high temperatures are reaching new, more frequent extremes. Devastating wildfires have forced families from their homes. Our air quality ranks among the nation’s worst – hitting disadvantaged communities hardest.

The LABC is a longtime champion for the Feed-in Tariff, or FiT program, which allows local property owners, solar companies and third parties to sell solar power generated from underused rooftops back to the L.A. Department of Water and Power for distribution on the city’s power grid.

Today, Los Angeles leads the largest FiT program in the nation. It has helped building owners turn their roofs into revenue, created thousands of high-quality local jobs, and avoided the release of 2.7 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually.
