Casa Pueblo in Puerto Rico is leading the charge for energy independence with the help of The Solutions Project. They're pushing for microgrid ecosystems to tackle energy issues while promoting #ClimateJustice and #EnergyEquity. By scaling from individual solar installations to community energy solutions, they're improving lives and protecting the environment. https://thesolutionsproject.org/casa-pueblo-shows-puerto-rico-a-path-towards-energy-independence/

Until recent policy changes, solar panels on Hackney's apartment buildings only supplied electricity to the grid or communal areas.

Residents were left in the dark when it came to personal financial benefits.

Africa: Energy Access Has Improved, but More Funding Is Needed to Address Disparities - WHO: [UN News] Although nearly 92 per cent of the global population now has basic access to electricity, more than 666 million people still live without it, prompting the World Health Organization (WHO) to urge greater financial support for renewable energy. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TLYyn3 #EnergyAccess #RenewableEnergy #SustainableDevelopment #Africa #EnergyEquity
Energetron empowers rural communities with decentralized solar grids, ensuring energy access for all. 🇮🇳🏡 #SolarForAll #EnergyEquity #Energetron

Big boost in solar energy for lower-income areas. What's not to love?

Biden's big climate action bill, the IRA, keeps on giving: Up to 2,917 megawatts of new solar-generation capacity, serving 711,068 low-income and disadvantaged households, and saving them $2 billion over the next five years.

Low-income communities will soon get $7 billion for local solar

Per a new analysis of 35 proposed state programs, the historic climate-law funding would benefit more than 700,000 low-income households. Here’s how.

I'm grateful we are prosperous enough to afford both. Most in Maine's outage zones can't. This is just a reminder that 1) the #energytransition is not a single step to an #electrifyeverything world. 2) #energyequity - here and globally - is also a distant goal.

Radicale systeemverandering, marktordening en eerlijkheid in het energiesysteem?

De Club van Wageningen interviewde Arash Aazami en mij als teaser voor een bijeenkomst over deze thema's.

Leuk fimpje, al zeg ik het zelf...

Samen leren

Halfjaarlijks organiseren we de Club van Wageningen bijeenkomst. Deze bijeenkomst is op uitnodiging zodat we een goede vertegenwoordiging uit het ecosysteem borgen. In de bijeenkomst kijken we met de deelnemers terug op het afgelopen half jaar, delen we inzichten en bespreken welke vraagstukken in het komende half jaar van belang zijn. Rondom deze vraagstukken ontstaan gelegenheidscoalities die zelfstandig aan de slag gaan met vraagstukken. Tussendoor beleggen we bijeenkomsten op specifieke onderwerpen om te verdiepen.

As we've been discussing all too long on @columbiaclimate #sustainwhat. Why #climatejustice has to fully integrate #energyequity. That leads right back to @jrockstrom's climate math and the need for real carbon space for Africa, particularly. https://revkin.substack.com/p/after-cop26-cheers-and-jeers-some-21-11-15

After COP26 Cheers and Jeers, Some Hopeful Climate and Energy Undercurrents

Amid cheering and rage as the latest climate talks ended, there are heaps of issues and opportunities to work on in the months and years ahead.
