With close to a billion people around the world with limited or no access to electricity, how can we answer the simple question of why? What can be done today? And how can bringing those people online have a positive effect on the global environment? In this webinar, we will examine how an energy paradigm shift can bring a positive change to humanity.
After completing this course, you will be able to:
- Explain how a next generation grid for underserved populations is sustainable
- Give examples of how we can work with existing technology to build business models for underserved communities
- Illustrate how we can create and encourage profitable investment from global funds for these communities
