Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and Los Angeles World Airports broke ground on Receiving Station X on Nov. 4 to mark an important power reliability project for LAX and the greater traveling public.

LADWP Board Commission President Cynthia McClain-Hill, LADWP General Manager and Chief Engineer Martin L. Adams, LAWA CEO Justin Erbacci and LAWA Board of Airport Commissioners Vice President Valeria C. Velasco all participated in the ceremony.

Receiving Station X, the first high-voltage receiving station built in Los Angeles in 33 years, will support LAWA’s modernization plans by providing redundant power to all of the airport’s major facilities.
