Kern County has led the way on energy development since the discovery of oil in the Kern River Field in 1899, the first wind energy in California in 1981 and, the largest commercial solar project in the United States in Eastern Kern in 2011. Today, we continue to define and accelerate energy development for the future of California.
We’re pleased to announce that Kern County has received notice from the U.S. Department of Energy that we, with our stakeholder partners, have been awarded a Communities LEAP (Local Energy Action Program) technical assistance grant for development of a Clean Energy and Carbon Management Business Park that will make Kern County a national Center of Excellence in new clean energy and carbon management industries and investment.
