Kern County is the leading energy provider for the State of California and as such is connected to the strongest players in the global energy industry.

Oil has been a boon for major economic growth since it was discovered locally in the 1800's. The county's foundation rests on the land that a lucrative oil industry has built, which is why giants such as Aera Energy, Berry Petroleum and Chevron have chosen to make their headquarters in Kern.

And public commitments to renewables coming from the local, state and federal levels, has allowed the renewable energy industry to become one of the fastest growing nationwide. Much of that growth is taking place in Kern thanks to 280 sunny days a year to support solar energy, California's largest single wind energy source in Tehachapi, and abundant fuel by-product garnering attention for biofuel.
