Solar Power


The Port of Los Angeles is constantly deepening its commitment to sustainable, responsible growth through landmark programs and initiatives proven to reduce emissions and harmful greenhouse gases (GHGs) from port-related operations.

Incorporating the use of solar power has been one way the Port is helping to reduce GHGs. To date, the Port has installed nearly 12 Megawatts (MW) of photovoltaic (PV) solar power systems, including installations at the World Cruise Center, CRAFTED at the Port of Los Angeles, Cabrillo Way Marina and many other locations on Port property. The PV systems feed clean energy to the utility grid operated by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP).

The Port is in the process of building and operating PV systems at 25 locations on Port property. Combined, these new sites will have a total additional capacity of nearly 20 MW of solar power, which is enough electricity to power approximately 5,000 homes. The installations are a mix of rooftop, parking lot and underutilized ground-mount site locations.
