“Our PPA with ForeFront Power checks all the boxes. What seemed insurmountable became achievable with the right partners.” — Justen Cole, Utilities Director for the City of Vacaville After a six-year search for ways to offset the electrical use of the City's Easterly Wastewater Treatment Plant—its largest energy consumer—Vacaville's partnership with ForeFront Power finally made it possible. Last year, we flipped the switch on a new #solarenergy and #batterystorage system at the facility that is already yielding powerful results—and will continue to, with ongoing oversight from our asset management team.

We'd say we can't believe the Fresno DPU Solar + Energy Portfolio—our landmark project with the City of Fresno—has received yet another accolade, but we know all the recognition is more than deserved. 🏆 Last month we attended the Reuters Events Energy industry Awards ceremony in New York, where our project was honored with 2nd place in the category “Decentralized Project of the Year,” celebrating projects that have maximized the potential of behind-the-meter solutions to enhance energy resilience and reduce reliance on centralized grid infrastructure. At a combined 27 MW-DC in size, the solar-plus-storage portfolio is expected to save over $122 million in ratepayer dollars by 2045. The centerpiece of the portfolio is a 19.6 MW system at the Fresno-Clovis Regional Wastewater Reclamation Facility, which at the time of its completion was the largest commercial solar and battery system in the U.S. Earning such high praise in a program judged by some of the top sustainability leaders in the industry shows just how monumental this project’s impact is. We offer a huge congrats to our partners at the City of Fresno. We couldn’t be prouder of our award-worthy work together. 👏 Read more about the Fresno DPU project here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gJBUjKGP Reuters Events Energy Transition #PublicPower #ClimateAction #DistributedEnergy #SolarEnergy #BatteryStorage

One of California’s most ambitious school-bus electrification projects is coming to the Central Valley. 🚍⚡ Porterville Unified School District is transforming its fleet with a planned 35 zero-emission buses powered by a new on-site solar, battery storage, and microgrid infrastructure project developed by ForeFront Power. We're grateful for the opportunity to team up on this project with The Mobility House on EV charge management and work alongside CALSTART, the District’s technical partner that helped secure a $13.9M EPA Clean School Bus grant—matched nearly dollar-for-dollar by state and local funding. Once complete, this holistic electrification project is designed to help the District offset roughly 80% of its electricity use—including the anticipated SCE bill for annual bus charging—and avoid an estimated 21,000 metric tons of CO₂ over 30 years.

SLO County Airport is taking off into a sustainable future thanks to a new solar parking canopy that now powers 100% of airport operations. 🛫☀️ We had the pleasure of joining SLO Airport (SBP) on Earth Day 2026 to celebrate the completion of a 940 kW solar parking canopy system we developed together over the Airport’s largest passenger parking lot. By offsetting all of the airport’s electricity consumption, this #solarenergy system is projected to save SLO County $6 million in energy costs over the lifetime of the project. It’s the first in a series of initiatives in SBP’s Sustainability & Decarbonization Plan, helping the airport achieve its goal of powering 100% of operations with renewable energy well before its 2030 commitment. Special thanks to our long-time partner, Annie Secrest, for championing this project from start to finish. We couldn’t have done it without the support of her and her sustainability team!
