Key Areas of Cluster Focus- Promote and connect the local clean energy industry through online exposure and regular meetings/events- Promote Fresno County as an ideal location for clean energy technologies- Enhance clean energy opportunities between and throughout other industriesChairing the then-Fresno/Madera Regional Jobs Initiative Clean Energy Cluster, we developed the original CA legislative concept on the first California Net Energy Metering Aggregation (NEMA) bill, AB 1223 (2007) authored by Assembly Member Juan Arambula, and we were legislative cosponsor with the Agricultural Energy Consumers Association. Despite having great ag, environment, solar, and CPUC support, we were apparently a few years before our time. In 2012, Senator Wolk passed SB 594, a broader NEMA bill, into law, and NEMA tariffs are now well established.
