Construction was transferred to LADWP in 2022 for the final phase of completion. The RS-X will provide LAX with additional power reliability, redundancy, and capacity. It consists of a 4,800 square foot concrete, single-story building with a control room with transmission feeders to the 230kV LADWP transmission lines and electrical vaults, as well as distribution feeders from RS-X to LAX. The project provides additional resiliency, redundancy, and provides additional capacity in support of LAX’s modernization projects. “The safety, security and reliability of our airport is key for our guests and employees, and this includes ensuring we have reliable power at all times,” —Justin Erbacci, Chief Executive Officer, LAWA.
