EarthSpark partners with historically underserved communities to build clean energy prosperity.
​

EarthSpark builds clean, just energy systems and businesses that empower communities in Haiti and around the world.

Since 2008, EarthSpark has pioneered smart, solar microgrids, piloted innovative electric cooking, and launched a microgrid development company with a local-national-international blended finance approach now backed by the Green Climate Fund. EarthSpark also supports aspiring microgrid operators to launch and operate their systems. EarthSpark’s Feminist Electrification Methodology won the United Nations' "Momentum for Change" award in 2018, and EarthSpark’s spin-off technology company, SparkMeter, is now serving utilities in 30 countries with smart metering, billing, and grid analytics hardware and software services.

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 electricity service.

Where there is no incumbent infrastructure, there is an opportunity to build energy systems that use today's technologies, business models, and community participation to deliver clean, affordable, reliable electricity. This is our way of working towards climate justice and Sustainable Energy for All.

Is 100% Renewable Energy Possible? It's Happening!

The EarthSpark team has already committed to shifting to 100% renewable energy for our electricity systems in Haiti.

It turns out that relying on even a small amount of fossil fuels where we work is extremely expensive and difficult to manage. For us, the shift to 100% is already here.

Multi-Solving with Electric Cooking and Microgrids makes Sense

Electric cooking can improve lives, reduce emissions, and boost solar-powered microgrids.

EarthSpark research shows that multi-solving for clean cooking and electricity access can deliver higher quality services with better climate benefits than addressing each issue alone. That's a big deal! READ MORE.
