We are thrilled to share good news from #Haiti. Many years in the making, six mayors recently signed contracts to bring electricity to their towns. Solar-powered smart electricity grids will soon serve over 28,000 people. #microgrid #determination www.earthsparkinternational.org/blog/we-did-...

Fire! Community. Perseverance. If you can, please consider supporting our campaign to repair the Tiburon grid. ☀️❤️🙏 Read more here. https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/re-launch-electricity-in-tiburon-haiti/

EarthSpark's @UNFCCC @Momentum_UNFCCC award winning "Feminist Electrification" is a powerful concept, but how can we formalize it into something that truly shapes the sector? Looking at @CriterionInst and other thoughtful movement-builders for...

Well-planned mini-grids can help with electrification https://wapo.st/3YHBiaR Thanks @washingtonpost for printing @amarchambault's letter and highlighting EarthSpark's work! Turns out the boring stuff is the secret sauce! :)

“In rural Haiti, we need to ask what is the best technology of today and then use that!” People went from no phones to WhatsApp! Same needs to happen with other tech. @emmadouyon #hdi5 @HaitiDevInst

On #InternationalWomensDay, we invite everyone working on #SDG7 to embrace "Feminist Electrification." When women participate and lead in all aspects of designing + delivering #SE4All, everyone wins. #genderjustice and #climatejustice are inextricably linked. #EmbraceEquity

"The most solid foundation for feeling better about the future is to improve it—tangibly, durably, reproducibly, and scalably. 1/2

Siloed approaches are stalling #SDG7. That's why we're working with @UN_Energy on an #EnergyCompact to bring clean electric cooking powered by ☀️-powered #minigrids to thousands of homes and businesses in #Haiti. #COP27

⭐️Wow! EarthSpark's "Scaling Smart, Solar, Energy Access Microgrids in Haiti" named ☀️"Sustainable Energy Initiative of the Year"☀️ by @IslandsInnovate and @ClintonGlobal !

Electric cooking + #renewableenergy are essential to achieve #SDG7! Electricity grids can (should!) be designed with this in mind. Check out our new @UN_Energy Compact for e-cooking in Haiti. Thanks to @UKMECS @TheOPECFund @theGCF #SEforALLForum @WBG_Energy

📢Open letter: Local #FoodSecurity, like local energy security, should be the long term goal for food aid. Support for local farmers should be paramount. #Haiti...

Our hearts are aching and our team in Les Anglais is scrambling to check for downed lines, help injured. The roads are impassible and the regional hospitals have stopped responding. #haitiearthquake

This weekend Americans celebrate a bold declaration. It wasn’t itself enough, but it was a pivotal piece of what has become history. What will our era’s contribution be? #powerofrenewables #actonclimate #go100percent

"Whether it's cooked over firewood or with electricity, it's Haitian food!" Check out the advantages of #electriccooking from the people who have made the switch in #Haiti! #electrifyeverything (everywhere!) #energytransition @SEforALLorg @RockefellerFdn @cleancooking @UKMECS

"Energy access is the difference between life and death for millions of people." - @DamilolaSDG7 at @SEforALLorg, @IKEAFoundation, @RockefellerFdn event just now. Sometimes this fundamental point gets lost. #ClimateJustice #SDG7

"#HaitianFlagDay is the day in Haiti that's just about joy--school parades, national pride-it's a lot of fun!" Take a little trip to a roadside restaurant in our video and ask - what if #electricity could do more in Haiti? We're full of hope and joy and wishing you the same!

#ElectricCooking powered by solar microgrids is the next innovation in #EnergyAccess. EarthSpark International’s new report proves what is possible, bringing affordable and modern cooking services to communities in rural #Haiti....

#fossilfuels will not solve #energy poverty. Based on our experience, #cleanenergy, #EnergyStorage, and #smartgrid are the way forward. Our 1st grid's first year of operations was over 98% #solar powered. We're moving toward 100%. #voicesfor100 #COP24 @SE4All

At the #climatefinance talks at #cop24, we're not finding enough accessible grant funding for "de-risking by doing" i.e. Pilot and R+D activities to move solutions towards markets. Field building is hard + expensive and needs more support!

Getting ready for the @Momentum_UNFCCC event at #COP24! Excited to see some awesome #climate solutions already happening.

Greetings from the #COP24 climate conference in Poland! @amarchambault just held an interview on EarthSpark's Feminist Electrification with other recipients of the @UNFCCC @momentum award. Check it out! (Starts at :40)...
