Economic and environmental benefits
We believe in being a good neighbor, ensuring responsible and sustainable clean energy development that benefits both the environment and local communities without burdening existing infrastructure.
The project is expected to avoid 210,000 tons of GHGs annually, which is equivalent to removing 44,000 gas-powered cars from the road for one year.
Provides local economic benefits such as tax revenue for local communities and schools over the life of the project.
400 jobs created during construction and jobs for operations.
Clean energy benefits local communities
- Long-term tax revenue to counties, towns and school districts
- Job creation during construction and operation
- Local economic stimulus during construction
- Affordable, reliable, locally produced clean energy
- Improved air quality and reduced CO2 emissions
- Non-permanent development and low-impact construction that ensures land can be sensitively restored to pre-project conditions at the end of the project’s life
Environmental and technical studies
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Rexford project was completed in August 2020. The EIR is a comprehensive analysis that identifies any significant environmental impacts and mitigation measures as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The EIR identified no significant impacts to the local environment that could not be effectively mitigated by designing and building the project in accordance with the latest applicable codes and safety standards.
Partnering with communities for the future of energy
AES is committed to being a good neighbor and partner in Tulare County. We understand that our success as a company is only as strong as our partnerships with the communities where we operate. That’s why we partner with stakeholders in local communities, including local contractors and non-profit organizations, to understand how we can best work together to support sustainable social and economic development. We’re committed to ensuring safe, responsible clean energy development that improves lives and builds stronger communities.
