Power Content Label
California State Law requires Glendale Water & Power to furnish
their customers with a POWER CONTENT LABEL on a quarterly basis. The law
was enacted to ensure that "Green Power" claims made by the energy
providers could be verified. As Glendale does not make specific claims
regarding the "Green Power" content of the power it sells, the law
requires Glendale's POWER CONTENT LABEL to show that the GLENDALE POWER
MIX to be the same as the 2007 CALIFORNIA POWER MIX.
