Despite mandates to boost renewable power sources, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power gives the Los Angeles Unified School District a discounted rate to delay its alternative-energy program and plans to charge other large customers more for generating their own electricity, the Daily News has learned.
Beginning in January, the DWP will charge a new fee to the Los Angeles Community College District and nearly a dozen other unidentified customers that generate a portion of their own electricity, officials said.
''The fact of the matter is, they do not want you to self-generate,'' said Tony Fairclough, an engineering management consultant for the college district. ''They want to appear to be 'green,' but they want those dollars.''
