SUMMARY:Conversations on Informality: Providing Sustainable Electricity to Urban Informal Settlements of the Global South
DESCRIPTION:Providing basic services to informal urban settlements has been a historical challenge for cities of the global south. One of the defining features of ‘informality’ in settlements has been their lack of access to basic services. This seminar complicates that discussion by asking how to marry the concerns of sustainability and steady electricity provision in informal urban settlements. Dr. Mensah will present his research on electricity provision in Accra’s slums\, while Dr. Kitio will focus on the overall macro picture of fitting sustainability into service provision in informal settlements of the global south. In particular\, the seminar features research conducted by Eugenie L. Birch\, co-Director of Penn’s Institute for Urban Research\, and James Mensah entitled “Powering the Slum” and funded by the Kleinman Centre for Energy Policy at the University of Pennsylvania. \nThe “Conversations on Informality” Seminar Series of the Penn IUR Forum on Urban Informality bring together leading scholars and practitioners for an exchange across academic disciplines and in policy. \nThis event is a part of Energy Week at Penn\, a week of energy-focused events across Penn’s campus.

SUMMARY:GRID Talks | Raise the Roof: Women in Construction
DESCRIPTION:Meet the women who are building a more inclusive solar industry! \nwith Marie Kills Warror\, Anna Bautista\, Freida Galindo \nJoin GRID Alternatives for a one hour discussion and Q&A on women in the solar industry\, women in construction\, and a just transition to a clean energy future through solar energy. \nFREE ONLINE WEBINAR – REGISTER HERE \nGRID Talks is a new webinar series that brings together leaders from the environmental justice movement to discuss issues related to clean energy access and community-centered solutions. The webinars seek to amplify the voices of GRID’s communities and share the stories\, experiences\, and work that are creating mission impact and systemic changes. \nMarie Kills Warrior\, Energy Research & Project Developer | I am an enrolled member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe. I was born and raised on the Pine Ridge Reservation in the small town of Kyle South Dakota. I began my journey in Solar PV at an Earth Day event in 2016. In 2019 I obtained my NABCEP Associates through Red Cloud Renewables during the first Tribal Train The Trainer Program and I aspire to become a NABCEP certified Solar PV designer and Instructor for Indigenous Communities throughout Turtle Island. \nAnna Bautista\, Vice President of Construction\, GRID Alternatives | Anna has broad experience in the solar industry as a site supervisor\, hands-on trainer\, and design and installation technician. In the private sector\, she managed over $4M in residential and small commercial PV projects. She has worked on renewable energy projects and environmental justice campaigns in the Philippines\, Haiti\, and Costa Rica but is honored to share her skills locally to help democratize access to renewable energy and energy efficiency solutions and training. Anna has a degree in Electrical Engineering from MIT and is proud to represent among other women who are NABCEP Certified Installers in California. \nFreida Galindo\, SolarCorps Construction Project Management Fellow | Freida is a project management fellow for single-family homes in the greater Los Angeles area. She is an active environmental advocate in her community through lobbying and volunteering\, working to advance community and ecosystem resilience.
