#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. earthsparkinternational.org/…
ALT Some of the smiling faces of the electric cooking vanguard of Les Anglais, Haiti. Pressure cookers, induction cook tops, smart meters and solar panels.
Happy Earth Week, everyone, and a BIG thank you to @lildickytweets for his support and ongoing work to #solveclimate. 🌎☀️♥️
Storytelling for social + climate justice : welovetheearth.org/ Very cool, and thank you again for supporting EarthSpark's work in community-led clean electricity systems in #Haiti and around the world! #ClimateAction
Fire! Community. Perseverance. If you can, please consider supporting our campaign to repair the Tiburon grid. ☀️❤️🙏 Read more here. globalgiving.org/projects/re…

The @earthsparkintl team will be joining partners in Puerto Rico to share lessons and goals for community-based solar+storage microgrids.
We'd love to see you at the SESA Summit! (Early Bird deadline is Monday) sesapr.org/summit

Maya Angelou —a notable American literary artist and dedicated civil rights and equality defender, reminds us that our earthly needs are interconnected. Destroying one means destroying everything else. May our actions be inspired by the need to protect our one and only home.
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 inspiration.

@energia_org @ShineCampaign_ @AspenANDE @Power4All2025 @SEforALLorg - would love your thoughts as well!
Well-planned mini-grids can help with electrification 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

So now is the time to be practitioners, not theorists; to be synthesists, not specialists; to do solutions, not problems; to do transformation, not incrementalism."

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
🎯 Yes! Oui! Wi! @ibrahimmatolamw and @DamilolaSDG7 preach #SDG7 silos no more! Integrated energy planning multi-solves and delivers better results than addressing #cleancooking and #EnergyAccess separately. We need more of this thinking in the #minigrid sector. 🙏 #ecooking
.@ibrahimmatolamw and @DamilolaSDG7: Ensuring access to both #electricity and #CleanCooking options would go a long way toward helping the #GlobalSouth tackle its energy, climate, and development challenges buff.ly/3EfgHSu #SDG7 #SDGs #COP27 @SEforALLorg
Siloed approaches are stalling #SDG7. Kudos to those working to break down the silos! @TheOPECFund @UKMECS @ibrahimmatolamw @DamilolaSDG7 @SEforALLorg
Update: 1 gallon of gasoline is now selling for US$15.80 (2000HTG) in Les Anglais, #Haiti. Fossil fuel supply is fragile. The sun, meanwhile, continues to arrive daily. Yes, we are planning on expanding our #solar #microgrids!
One gallon of gas is now nearly $12 in #Haiti right now. If you can find it.
Kriz gaz an Ayiti; chofè moto bloke wout lali an. Sinyale ke yon galon gazolin deja ap vann 1500g nan Pòtoprens — Gas crisis in #Haiti: motorcycle drivers are blocking the Lalue road to protest as one gallon of gas soars to 1500g in the capital, Port-au-Prince
