Energy

Description

Communities have access to clean, modern, and affordable energy, with limited or no dependence on expensive fossil fuel supply chains, particularly in remote communities. A stable supply of electricity is transmitted directly into homes, schools, businesses, and municipal facilities, without frequent interruptions, fluctuations, or outages. Communities can rely on being able to access and, where applicable, store energy, to support their ongoing energy security and, where possible, energy independence.

The Role of Local Energy Communities in Clean Energy Transitions

Engaging people as active participants is essential to accelerating clean energy transitions. This webinar from the International Energy Agency (IEA) features an expert panel discussion that explores how community action can provide benefits for people, power systems, and nature. It explores the range of benefits (including energy accessibility, reliability, affordability, and local job creation) and draws on real-world examples to answer questions related to key enablers, barriers, and more.
