Join the SolSmart program for a free webinar: Understanding Who Is Underserved By Your Solar Strategies on 12/19! We will examine ways local governments can identify communities and individuals that are underserved by existing programs aimed at increasing solar deployment and adoption feature speakers from the Berkeley Lab and Greenlink Analytics. Register today to learn about data sets that cities, towns, and regions can use to inform their solar strategies and to see examples of that data in action: https://bit.ly/3NkdiWq!

Attention local governments! As a SolSmart technical advisor, we recognize the transformative potential solar can have for underserved populations. Don't miss this free webinar about how to improve equitable outcomes in your solar strategies. #Equity #solarenergy #solarpower #localgovernment

But where is the money GOING? 💸 I've worked in the #energyaccess sector for over a decade, and for over a decade I've been involved in conversations speculating about what investors are interested in, how things are changing year to year based on a "feeling", and trying to figure out exactly where the financing is going. Did you know that GOGLA can actually answer some of these questions with hard data *and* insights? Next Thursday (25 April, 16:00 CET) GOGLA is hosting a deep dive webinar into the off-grid solar industry's investment landscape. We'll be exploring where the funds flowed and what that spells for energy access and innovation. The data will be published soon, but seriously, take this opportunity to have it presented to you - it's an amazing opportunity and open to all. My colleague Laura Fortes will be moderating an all-star panel featuring the investors, partners and companies - Geoffrey Manley, Michael Franz, Tarisai T Mureriwa, Ravindra Dolare, and Diana Mbogo will be sharing their unique perspectives on the trends and making sense about what this means for energy access, climate action, and development goals. Don't just speculate on what's happening, get the info you need to help make informed decisions. Register now-> https://lnkd.in/gUBpYbvu

Last week Anselm Eicke, Lion Hirth and Jonathan M. published this great presentation about their findings regarding the benefits of decentralized flexibility in our grid. At Climate Founders we also have a strong thesis regarding flexible demand, storage, smart tariffs and energy management systems. Flexible controlled electric vehicles, heat pumps and home storages - in an ideal world even bi-directional - are the core of the energy transition in the next 5-10 years and will most likely become the decentralized brain of our future energy system. If you already started or want to start a startup in this space: Apply until 12. April for our next sprint: https://lnkd.in/diWDSpnw

🎥 Commissioner Kim Campbell spoke with Resources for the Future at their  'Solar Geoengineering Futures: Interdisciplinary Research to Inform Decisionmaking' conference; The Rt. Hon. Campbell, stressed that "SRM is such an enormous notion that could affect the whole world, that there needs to be a global understanding, consensus and judgement on whether or not these technologies could be used". 🤳 Watch the conversation here: https://lnkd.in/ekyWwh9z
