Janisse Quiñones, chosen by Mayor Karen Bass to lead the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), will receive a salary of $750,000 annually, significantly higher than the current $447,082 earned by General Manager Marty Adams. Quiñones, a former senior vice president at Pacific Gas & Electric Co., will oversee the utility’s transition to 100% clean energy by 2035. Her salary aligns with executives at other public utilities but falls short of those at investor-owned utilities. Adams, who is retiring after four decades, received backdated salary adjustments this year, boosting his pay by $50,000. The LADWP board also approved relocation and housing assistance for Quiñones.
