DWP Seeks to Cut Backlog on Rebates
Rebates promised by Los Angeles for new energy-saving heating and cooling systems have been delayed for months by an unexpected backlog, frustrating residents and contractors.
About 2,000 customers who applied for rebates under the Department of Water and Power program are still waiting. In response, the DWP plans to deploy a task force next week to process those applications.
Fueled by California’s energy crunch last year, more than 7,500 contractors and residents applied for rebates, six times more than DWP officials expected.
The rebates range from $600 to $1,000.
