Fresno Unified School District and ForeFront Power have completed a 17.5 MW solar energy and storage portfolio, expected to save the district over $40 million throughout the approximate 20-year lifespan of the system.
The districtwide portfolio includes 40 projects with solar canopies and energy storage systems across 31 sites and is slated to generate 23.5 million kWh.
“ForeFront Power takes care of every aspect of solar energy solutions for our partner school districts like Fresno Unified,” says Nate Smith-Ide, senior sales manager at ForeFront Power. “We want to give public school districts an alternative to expensive, unpredictable energy expenditures with guaranteed performance and low costs from renewable energy solutions.”
Fresno Unified selected ForeFront Power via the Renewable Energy Aggregated Procurement Program offered by SPURR, a joint powers authority made up of public education agencies using competitive solicitations, aggregated buying power and technical expertise to negotiate pricing and terms for utilities-related goods and services.
A wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsui & Co, ForeFront Power operates under Mitsui’s North American investment arm.

Have you ever wondered why every dictator in human history follows the exact same playbook? Check this outPlato nailed this 2400 years ago, and it’s been on “rinse/repeat” ever since.
On average, I meet perhaps 50 K-12 teachers each year, and I often ask them: What is the biggest challenge you face that impacts your ability to connect with and educate your students?
Here’s a rough tabulation:
Screen time, how it robs kids of their ability to pay attention, impedes social interaction, and makes parenting more difficult: 80%
Everything else combined: 20%
Maybe this is a cynical viewpoint, but it seems like that world of today revolves around the mega-corporations profiting by punishing their customers.
In this case, we have the tech giants ruining the lives of our children. Elsewhere, we have healthcare industry driving people into bankruptcy, Big Oil ruining our planet, the gun lobby murdering our kids, and, of course, an ultra-corrupt government looting our treasury to pay off billionaire donors.
Note that this wasn’t the case when we boomers were growing up 60 years ago. This is a distinctive shift from the 1960s when corporate America was focused on things like color TVs and the Ford Mustang.
