Clean Energy Accessibility
Accessibility for all is at the core of our work. We develop clean energy community microgrids in environmental justice communities. Climable ensures that community input leads decision-making and advocates for cooperative tenant ownership of the equipment. Our projects promote sustainable energy solutions, foster energy literacy through education, and expand access to microgrid projects to support communities in their pursuit of climate resilience and justice.
Updating the electric grid can leave behind vulnerable and low-income communities. Climable’s leadership of the Resilient Urban Neighborhoods (RUN) program gives at-risk populations a voice in the development of local clean energy and decarbonization projects by connecting them with the technical expertise they need to take action.
The Fenway Microgrid is a joint effort between Climable and the Fenway Community Development Corporation to explore the possibility of developing a community microgrid to strengthen energy resilience in the Fenway neighborhood.
Resilient Urban Neighborhoods is a collaboration between clean energy technical organizations Climable, Clean Energy Solutions, Inc., Peregrine Energy Group, and Climate Action Business Association that assists local grassroots organizations with clean energy projects for their communities.
The Resilient Urban Neighborhoods Green Justice Coalition (RUN-GJC) is developing a set of clean energy community microgrids in Boston’s Chinatown and Chelsea, MA. This project is run in partnership by Climable, GreenRoots, and the City of Chelsea. This microgrid initiative would make Chelsea more resilient to power failures while providing meaningful employment opportunities and financial benefits.
Chinatown Microgrid is a project developed as a collaboration between Climable, Chinese Progressive Association (CPA), and Chinatown Community Land Trust (CCLT) for the creation of community microgrids. The microgrid initiative aims to harness community power and provide local residents with control over their own energy generation, new jobs, revenues and savings, and climate resilience.
Climable, in collaboration with Clean Water Action, teamed up to bring a reliable source of energy to the Comité Pro-Desarrollo Villa Cañona, a nonprofit in Loíza, Puerto Rico.
Climable is collaborating with the City of Cambridge on a new initiative to support climate resilience through clean, local energy sources. We're working with community members in The Port neighborhood to pilot a clean energy microgrid.
Climable is collaborating with the Cambridge Community Center (CCC), American Microgrid Solutions, Clean Energy Solutions, and others, to transform the CCC into a resilience hub.
