   RECOGNITION OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA POWER AGENCY'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
California (Mr. McNerney) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. McNERNEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Northern 
California Power Agency, which is celebrating 50 years of service this 
year.
  Back in 1968, a group of municipal electric utilities, including the 
city of Lodi in my district, joined together to form the NCPA. The NCPA 
continues to harness the power of clean energy today.
  For 50 years, NCPA has utilized new technologies to provide clean, 
renewable energy for its consumer-owners. This includes the Lodi Energy 
Center, a fast-start, combined-cycle natural gas project.
  The NCPA's commitments to innovation and clean power have made 
significant contributions to their California member communities, 
resulting in low electric rates and CO2-free generation.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the NCPA and its 
members on 50 years of service, achievement, and success.
