Led by @jlmacarthur.bsky.social, our team just published A Roadmap to Resilience. We look to int’l community & co-op energy projects. We show how these models can accelerate the energy transition while promoting equity & democracy. @accessnetwork.bsky.social www.cecooperative.ca/sites/www.ce...

Great to work with @chadwalker.bsky.social + colleagues on a new paper in Canadian Geographies: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/.... In this, we analyze Canadians’ views towards local energy system change (esp. hosting generation, agreeing to external control, and trading electricity). #SDG7

Job alert - We're hiring a researcher @cascadeinstitute.bsky.social for a 2 year contract on 'fast and fair' #energy #transitions. Open to remote or here in beautiful Victoria, BC. Pls share. #energysky. cascadeinstitute.org/opportunitie...

Decentralisation offers one route to energy system decarbonisation, and local energy systems (LES) provide focal points for decentralisation. LES invo…
