Energy justice and democratising energy are very topical.
The technical side is covered well by people such as Saul Griffith. But in local communities, how can the people create and govern these systems?
Kevin Cox has been advocating for democratising energy for many years.
Mark Spain is active in promoting localised solutions in global contexts.
Wendy Russell has been researching community batteries and micro-grids for ANU.
They will introduce the ideas for localised democratic energy systems and then open up to discussion for how these might be created by local communities here in the ACT in particular. What we create here might be a blueprint for other communities.
