Fund it Fast Chats: Supercharging Clean Energy Projects with SPURR
We’re launching 2026 with a powerful story of partnership, innovation, and real‑world impact. In this first webisode of the year, host Rochelle Butler of the San Joaquin Valley Clean Energy Organization sits down with Kevin Flanagan, Program Manager at SPURR, to spotlight one of the most impressive clean energy achievements in the country: the City of Fresno’s record‑setting solar and battery project.
Instead of talking about what agencies could do, this year we’re focusing on what partners have already accomplished—and Fresno’s project is a standout example. Together, we explore how SPURR supported the City in bringing this massive effort across the finish line, what it means for ratepayers, and how public agencies can leverage similar tools to accelerate their own clean energy goals.
You’ll hear:
