Social Impacts of Community Power
Hosted in partnership with OSEA
The positive economic and environmental impacts of solar, wind,
bioenergy and waterpower projects, once built and producing clean power,
are often discussed. This webinar will shift the focus to the more
personal and community-level impacts that are experienced throughout the
process of realizing a local, community power project. Social impacts
attributed to direct involvement in community power projects can
include: the formation of new organizations, acquiring new jobs and
sector-specialized skills, start-up of entrepreneurial RE companies,
development of new relationships, partnerships and perspectives. Hear
accounts of how involvement in RE projects has led to both predicted and
unexpected experiences in Ontario and abroad.
Speakers Include:
Jutta Splettstoesser, Farmer, renewable energy project owner and advocate
Andrew Clark, General Manager of AgriSolar Co-operative, Ontario
Johan Hamels, Founder, Ecopower Co-operative, Belgium
