DWP
Municipal utility provider
DWP is an initialism with two common meanings.
In the UK, it refers to the Department for Work and Pensions, the government ministry handling benefits, pensions, and employment support: She's been fighting the DWP over her disability claim.
In the US, particularly Los Angeles, DWP stands for Department of Water and Power, the municipal utility: The DWP sent a crew to fix the outage.
