The Agricultural Energy Consumers Association (AECA) is a prominent organization representing the interests of over 40,000 agricultural operations across California, from Redding to San Diego. Comprised of leading agricultural associations, water agencies, farmers, ranchers, producers, and food processors, AECA is dedicated to ensuring affordable and reliable energy sources throughout the state. Their primary mission is to advocate for fair energy rates and policies, promote energy efficiency and renewable energy development, and educate the farming and food processing community on energy options and programs.
With a track record of over 20 years, AECA has successfully advocated for fair and reasonable rates before the California Public Utilities Commission, resulting in savings of over $1 billion for agricultural and food processing customers. They have also played a pivotal role in the creation and expansion of energy programs, such as the Self Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) and Net-Energy Metering (NEM), to facilitate the participation of agricultural enterprises in renewable energy deployment. AECA's efforts have made a significant impact in controlling the rising costs of energy and ensuring a competitive business climate for California's farming and food processing operations.
