EarthSpark International's mission: eradicate energy poverty.
About
EarthSpark’s integrated approach to clean, smart, participatory microgrids prioritizes the community nature of power systems. As local energy becomes more relevant around the world, this participatory multi-solving will be essential everywhere.
Since 2008, EarthSpark has operated solar microgrids in Haiti, piloted innovative electric cooking, and launched a microgrid development company with a local-national-international blended finance approach now backed by a $10M commitment from the Green Climate Fund. EarthSpark’s Feminist Electrification Methodology won the UNFCCC Momentum for Change Award in 2018. EarthSpark’s spin-off technology company, SparkMeter, also expanded to reach 30 countries.
EarthSpark's "proving what is possible" and "de-risking by doing" proactively overcome barriers with innovation, research, and deep participatory engagement with communities - all of which enhance the sustainability and impact of energy access microgrids.
