Como você pode inspirar sua comunidade a apoiar a Energia Renovável?

Inspiring your community to support renewable energy involves raising awareness, providing education, and fostering a sense of collective responsibility. Here are some strategies you can employ: 1) Education and Awareness 2) Demonstrate Renewable Technologies 3) Community Engagement 4) Financial Incentives 5) Collaborate with Local Authorities 6) Celebrate Achievements 7) Collaborations with environmental organizations, energy companies 8) Art and Culture Integration 9) Accessible Information Remember that building support for renewable energy is an ongoing process that requires consistent communication, collaboration, and a positive vision for the future.

In a complex world not one single type of Generation has the key, Renewables is part of the modern energy mix for today's society. The growth of renewables within the outer zones of the electrical grids have resulted in needed investment on the local and national grids. Therefore communities now have access to a more reliable grid, the intermittent nature of renewables is just a factor that most anti-renewables groups focus on. Having worked in Nuclear, Conventional and Renewables, its odd to see he same type of arguments against renewables that I saw against Nuclear. If we really look at our personal power consumption we all need to reduce it. Renewables has plenty of benefits I just think the messaging is poor.

I will try to be short. I bought a house +400m2 in a rural area next to a city. Initial electric invoice around 300€. I decided to implement a solar PV installation. I asked several people and request different offers. I choose the supplier that gave me more comfort based on experience, references, proper technical and sales speech, and local as service is important..."Mas Norte", not the cheapest by the way. They recommended solar PV with storage, arranged for me all subsides applications and they finally implemented the installation the best way you could make it. My invoice with all subsidies and a move to the regulated tariff (PVPC) went down to less than 40€ and I have an app where I can see how the pv and storage performs. Happiness!

As a leading technologist in renewable energy for 15 years, my experience revolves around the development of cutting-edge technologies, from dual-axis solar trackers to wind turbines and portable power plants, among others. Through continuous innovation, I have contributed to advancing high-power solutions, positioning my community at the forefront of sustainability. Sharing this experience not only highlights technological achievements but also inspires the community toward a cleaner and more efficient future.

Renewable energy has obvious advantages when it comes to impact on the environment. My country Kenya Generation Mix comprises about 80% renewable energy sources including hydro, geothermal, wind and solar. Over the last decade, the goal was to phase out most petroleum plants and just keep a few for emergency power. As a developing country, and with an installed capacity of less than 3000MW, there's need to consider higher generation to boost development. There's more potential for geothermal, solar and wind power. However, it would be interesting to be able to boost power production through nuclear power. There can be no development without substantial amount of Power to drive manufacturing.

Educate the community to embrace the power of renewables – not only do they breathe life into our planet, but they also enlighten us with sustainable energy solutions, paving the way for a brighter, greener future for our community, when the community understand this concept it will be much easier for them to engage and collaborate towards the reduction of CO2 Emissions

Bajo mi filosofía de "dar la caña para enseñar a pescar", el enfoque es educar e informar a la comunidad sobre las virtudes de las energías renovables. Implementé un proyecto real donde se ofrecen talleres prácticos sobre la instalación y mantenimiento de instalaciones paneles solares. Estos talleres, respaldados por expertos en el campo, no solo brindan conocimientos técnicos, sino que también empoderan a la comunidad para adoptar la tecnología de manera autónoma. Además, utilizo plataformas online y redes sociales para compartir información sobre las últimas innovaciones, fomentando la conciencia y el interés en la sostenibilidad energética.

Educating the communities on how energy, environment, and economy are correlated is crucial in providing an understanding of the need for using renewable sources of energy. Learning about the environmental and economic benefits of using renewables, particularly in the context of a given community, can often help in creating inspiration and support for relevant projects. Education is indeed the key to bringing communities together to support the shared responsibility for moving towards a more sustainable future.

Elevate renewable energy education by leveraging AI. Host seminars on AI-powered Virtual Power Plants (VPPs), demonstrating how they optimize energy systems through predictive analytics. Offer interactive displays of smart microgrids and AI's role in energy networks. Use AI analytics to tailor educational outreach, dispelling myths and engaging community interest. Arrange local tours to showcase real-world AI applications in renewable projects, showcasing operational benefits and sustainability.

I agree with esteemed colleagues who mentioned before that educating the community is a significant positive factor in supporting growth in renewable energy. Tell them of the environmental benefits, its long-term sustainability, its ability to provide jobs, and support towards local technological enhancements. Host town hall meetings, and community events to highlight the positives of RETs. For example, what if a community adopted initiatives such as distributed solar generation? Imagine a neighborhood where residents collectively invested in rooftop solar panels, generating clean energy and reducing electricity bills. This fosters community cohesion and sets an example for others to follow, creating a ripple effect,

The first way to engage is to make it possible! The technologies are already available, at a cost that is now acceptable for most of the markets. So what needs to be done is to foster our entrepreneurial spirit and just try, test, experiment. That’s how, we have now at VINCI several subsidiaires aiming at developing renewable energy. One key is to base new activities on existing assets or capabilities. Therefore SunMind was initially dedicated to our airports platforms ; Solarvia to the highways in France ; Eliove to our own office buildings and CobraIS to the development of large scale production facilities. As we have to make it happen in every piece of business!

This is a big one as change is usually uncomfortable for a lot of people. Before you "engage and collaborate" I think you need to CONNECT. This is by being a part of their community, listening to their challenges and visions and really being a part of it all. If there is no connection, it's really hard to "engage and collaborate" because the trust isn't there. Once there is the connection, then a lot more can happen, more freely.

I am Connected with over 9,000 people through Linkedin. I do this to engage and meet interesting and like minded people. I do it to look for mutually beneficial outcomes. I also do it to educate people about renewables, particularly solar and batteries. i also want to learn from people about all aspects of the energy sector. The better we understand, the better we serve. And the environment is better, also. Connect, engage and collaborate. We all need to work together as a World Community.

Energy communities represent an exceptionally effective way to encourage support for Renewable Energy Sources (RES) within local communities. This is primarily due to their ability to directly involve individuals and groups in the process of energy production, fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility towards renewable energy initiatives. At the core of energy communities is the principle of collective action. When people come together to invest in, develop, and manage renewable energy projects, they feel a stronger connection to these initiatives. People are more likely to advocate for and invest in something they have a direct stake in, and energy communities provide this opportunity.

In many parts of the country, especially rural areas, people have developed home-grown solutions where they buy solar panels and hook up DC fans and lights to ensure their basic daily needs are met. Collaboration and knowledge sharing, especially through district-level engagements, can be beneficial. TEVTAs and TVET should work with local communities to promote the offtake of solar technologies through capacity-building and project sharing.

Recognize and celebrate renewable energy achievements through AI-driven initiatives. Host virtual community events using AI to highlight impactful stories, pinpointing successful green projects and the individuals behind them. Develop an AI-based awards program to identify and commend the most influential energy stewards. Present interactive, AI-infused exhibits showing the advance of renewables, engaging the community in the sustainable journey, and showcasing a future rich in clean energy possibilities.

A formal way to foster celebration and appreciation is via Community Benefits Agreements which can also serve as a viable tool to secure community buy-in, increased acceptance and re-shape community aspirations for renewable energy adoption. The outcomes and deliverables can be celebrated on a milestone basis to foster increased adoption by communities.

This month Pattern Energy announced $11 billion in funding for the world's largest solar project! 🤯 This project will be 3,000 MW, that's equivalent 2,250,000 homes' instantaneous energy demand! The energy transition is underway and projects like these are the early indicators that big changes are coming. And yes, an $11 Billion project is an early indicator when you look at the wave of incoming infrastructure deployment.

I count that renewable energies, especially solar energy, have advantages in terms of sustainability and synergy with nature, such as agriculture, sheep farming, beekeeping and the environment. And all this without reducing the production and energy efficiency of the plants as well as the creation of new improvements to solar plants and employment related to it.

Deploy personalized AI-Powered Assistants for guidance, tailor training for emerging green jobs, and utilize AI to distill community insights, shaping impactful sustainability solutions. Curate a knowledge base of renewable successes with AI, prompting continual innovation and informed community action.

Continuously inspiring our community involves learning and growing with renewable energy. We assess project outcomes, identifying strengths and weaknesses. Engaging in ongoing dialogue, we incorporate community feedback into future plans. Exploring new opportunities and staying informed ensures our journey toward a more sustainable community is dynamic and evolving.

Having 11 years of experience within the wind industry. As you travell... you have many experiences out on the road. A key live-and-learn approach for me to give would be when and if you are travelling to different areas of the world. Simply be respectful of the places you go, and the people who live there. As they say, we are visitors to their homes so be respectful, and polite. The majority of the time it'll be reciprocated. Also giving the industry as a whole a continuous great name as one the the great renewable energy industries out there!

While celebrating the impact of RE, communities should bring others who are still away from the RE concept. Sharing success stories is a good practice. During my last 12 years, I have experienced that communities like to hear success stories and this helps them adopt and expand the new concept/technology.

I believe educating people about how energy is a core concept when we discuss the future of society and sustainability. How can we maintain the growth rate without compromising our goals of achieving cleaner ways of production and transportation, for example. Renewables will be the ones allowing us to follow that path.

En Palm Beach, Florida, un centro tecnológico de energías renovables prometía ser el epicentro del conocimiento verde. Tras años de dedicación y un equipo comprometido, las elecciones presidenciales cambiaron el rumbo. El nuevo liderazgo desvió fondos y atención, dejando el proyecto en un pesado y costoso memorándum. Las esperanzas de avanzar hacia un futuro sostenible se desvanecieron, y el centro quedó atrapado en la incertidumbre. No por ello se desistió en se desplazo el proyecto a España, donde actualmente da soporte a Estados Unidos.

Personally I think given the economic climate of the world right now to get people really invested in renewable energy then Pass on the savings!! People have so much to worry about in day to day life and many struggling financially. Show them the benefits in their pocket! That will get buy in to renewable energy almost instantly if you could see and compare the savings

Encourage community members to support or advocate for local, state, and national policies that favor renewable energy adoption and investment. Provide templates or guides for writing to representatives or participating in local government meetings.

Help support in restoring nature. Be ready to pave the better path for future generations. It has helped me adopt sustainability in my day to day life.

It is also important to educate ourselves about why our electricity grid exists, what it's functions are and how to proceed without making the same mistakes we did when switching to coal from wood ~100 years ago!
