EarthSpark International is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization.

EarthSpark partners with  communities to build local energy prosperity.
​

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

Since 2008, EarthSpark has pioneered smart, local electricity systems in Haiti, piloted innovative electric cooking, and launched a microgrid development company with a local-national-international blended finance approach. 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, business partnerships, and deep participatory engagement with communities - all of which enhance the long-term viability and impact of electricity service.

Where there is no incumbent infrastructure, there is an opportunity to build resilient local energy systems that use today's technologies, business models, and community participation to deliver affordable, reliable electricity service.
