Which agency does NOT have legal jurisdiction over the Department of Water and Power (DWP)?

The City Council does not have legal jurisdiction over the Department of Water and Power (DWP). The DWP operates as a municipal utility, which means it functions under the authority of the city and is primarily governed by its own regulations and policies, rather than direct oversight from the City Council. While the City Council can influence the DWP through budget approvals and similar actions, it does not have the regulatory authority that other agencies hold.

On the other hand, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) do have regulatory influence over utilities, especially regarding interconnections and rates, while the Western States Power Authority also engages in various aspects of oversight in relation to electricity and water provision in the western states, which can include the DWP.
