The Center’s Destiny Rodriguez Discusses Community Choice Efforts in Fresno

Community Choice Energy agencies are supporting their customers and communities across the state during this pandemic, offering millions of dollars in relief efforts in response to COVID-19. The City of Fresno could benefit from this model once implemented to utilize revenues for our own impacted residents and local businesses rather than waiting for aid. If the City of Fresno moved Community Choice forward, it could provide a stable revenue stream for any emergency needs or crisis that may come in the future. Destiny Rodriguez, Regional Community Relations for The Climate Center gives examples of how CCAs are being proactive during COVID-19 and where Fresno is in this process on Central Valley Talk, a local web based TV channel. Learn more about how you can become involved in making Community Choice Energy a reality for Fresno.
