Access to Electricity in Odighi Community in Edo State Using Photo Voltaic
The project “Access to Electricity in Odighi Community in Edo State Using Photo Voltaic” has been implemented by the Community Research and Development Centre (CREDC) as part of the PREEEN Project (Promoting Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency in Nigeria). It was implemented with support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Global Environment Facility Small Grant Programme (GEF-SGP) and the Green Grant Fund (GGF). The Project was implemented in Odighi Community located in Ovia North-East Local Government Area of Edo State, Southern Nigeria.
In Odighi Community before the implementation of this project, the community was not connected to the national electricity grid and thus lacked access to electricity. This forced many of the inhabitants to rely on diesel and petrol generators for electricity supply for those who can afford it and majority of the community people used paraffin lamps and kerosene lanterns for lighting at night. This situation exposed them to various respiratory disease associated with the burning of hydrocarbon based fuel to generate heat and light energy and also increased poverty level as they kept spending more of their household income on unsustainable domestic energy sources.
The objectives of the project were: 1. To increase access to modern energy services (electricity) in Odighi Community using solar generators (Photovoltaic systems). This will enhance access to information, boost educational activities, reduce the incidence of respiratory diseases and discourage the use of traditional energy sources (kerosene lanterns, local paraffin lamps, diesel and petro generators) causing the emission of greenhouse gases leading to climate change. 2. To build capacity in the community to install and maintain photovoltaic system. This will ensure the participation of the community in the proposed project and to empower the community members sustain the project and to become potential employees in the emerging renewable energy industry in Nigeria. 3. To create awareness on the potential for renewable energy technologies (RETs) to address the energy crisis in Nigeria and at the same time mitigate the emission of greenhouse gases.

A flagship Maori-community owned Renewable Energy Project in New Zealand
A Maori community innovative partnership and the start of a journey of both local and national significance that brings together some of the best knowledge in New Zealand the world to design and build a new community owned renewable energy enterprise.
The Hikurangi Foundation and the Kaitiakitanga Project Team have sought to partner with you for the very real purpose of designing a pilot community-owned energy project that can be made a reality within an immediate timeframe.
Community energy is a catchall phrase given to renewable energy generation projects where the means of generation are owned and managed locally.
Community energy delivers multiple benefits including: energy literacy, active local governance, household-linked activities leading to efficiency and health improvements, new jobs, and long-term income streams that can drive local economic development. Community energy is moving to scale in many countries around the world, creating diverse organizational structures and using different technologies along the way.
As an example, the German town of Wildpolsreid (with a population of 2,700) produces 321% of their own energy needs and sells the excess to yield an income of US$5.7 million a year.
The village’s initiative first started in 1997 when the village council decided that it should build new industries, keep initiatives local, bring in new revenue, and not create debt.
Over the past 14 years, the community has equipped nine new community buildings with solar panels, built five bio-gas digesters and installed seven windmills with two more on the way.
In the village itself, 190 private households have solar panels while the district also benefits from three small hydro power plants, ecological flood control, and a natural waste water system.
This project is a flagship project for not only Maori communities but indeed for New Zealand.

This document summarizes an interview with a student who took an online course on climate change hosted by the World Bank. The student works for an NGO in Bolivia advising on renewable energy. Some key points:
- The student said the course was extremely informative and helped understand climate impacts and solutions. It covered topics like impacts of a 4°C warmer world and ways to reduce emissions.
- Bolivia is already experiencing more extreme flooding due to earlier rains from climate change. Transitioning to renewable energy is important to address this issue.
- More policy support is needed for renewable energy in Bolivia, including incentives for individual solar power generation and changing the energy matrix away from fossil fuels.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...
It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
