Reflecting back on this webinar from 2020, we explore the role of distributed generation to more equitably address the threats of climate change. Expert guest panelists from Southern California Edison, and California-based electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) manufacturer, KIGT, discuss resiliency and the ways utilities and cities can better align around the needs of utility customers.

In this StoryMap, we share the story of KIGT – a Los Angeles-based, Black, and independently owned EVSE company. By addressing the obstacles KIGT has encountered while serving Black and Brown communities in South Los Angeles, we illuminate the necessary actions for utilities and regulators to take to ensure a just energy transition that benefits all communities. Most importantly, we center the experience of those most impacted by the environmental harms of our energy industry.

Meeting the Moment with Community-First Infrastructure Investment Models
May 2023
In this co-authored blog post with Paul Francis, KIGT, we argue that community-first, rather than technology-first, infrastructure investment models will be critical as federal funding is poised to transform the energy industry. We argue that the starting point for our collective success is to reframe all we do with a Community-First mindset, from regulatory frameworks to evaluations.
