If you experience a power outage at a Los Angeles County department facility, first contact your building or facilities administrator (or your manager/supervisor) to determine whether the issue is related to a utility provider or isolated to the building.
If the outage appears to be a utility issue (typically affecting multiple buildings or a larger area):
- City of Los Angeles (LADWP service territory):
Visit the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) Outage Information page at LADWP.com/outages or call 1-800-342-5397.
- Southern California Edison (SCE service territory – unincorporated LA County and surrounding areas):
Visit the SCE Power Outages page at SCE.com or call 1-800-611-1911.
If the outage is limited to your building and cannot be resolved by your building or facilities administrator, contact the County’s Internal Services Department (ISD) Emergency Red Card Hotline at (888) 344-4473.
This process helps ensure power disruptions are directed to the appropriate utility provider or County facility services team for faster resolution.

Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment
Los Angeles County is committed to installing 15,000 electric vehicle charging stations by 2035 as part of its long-term clean transportation and climate goals. To meet this target, the County is actively seeking qualified vendors to support the planning, installation, and maintenance of electric vehicle infrastructure.
Licensed contractors and qualified firms interested in supporting Los Angeles County’s electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure projects can apply to become an approved EV installation contractor.
The County partners with contractors to design, install, and maintain Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) at public facilities, department buildings, parks, medical centers, and other County properties. These projects support the expansion of one of the largest government-operated EV charging networks in the nation.
To learn about contractor eligibility requirements, registration procedures, and procurement opportunities, visit Become an LA County Contractor – CTEP (Clean Transportation Program) for detailed information on how to participate in current and upcoming EV charging infrastructure projects.

Unlike traditional departments that are fully funded through the budgeting process, the Clean Transportation activities are not. To close the gap on funding short falls the ISD Clean Transportation Team will cover its costs for services by charging fees, effective immediately. Therefore, when you complete a form to Request Chargers, ISD also needs to receive a funded Service Request, with payment information allowing ISD to charge your account when services are completed.
When ISD receives grants or Net County Cost (NCC) funding, the Clean Transportation Team may be able to co-fund a portion of the work. Customers can decide to include project costs in their department budget requests or request that ISD include the project cost in the next round of NCC requests.
