The Local Clean Energy Alliance has been hard at work in advocating for expanded resources for resilience hubs in Ava Community Energy territory. Our community engagement and advocacy with Ava Community Energy is the start at bridging the gap between community driven resilience hubs and a community choice public agency.
We have come a long way since our initial advocacy in 2020. You can check out our Community Driven Resilience Hubs webinar from September 9, 2020 when we were engulfed in wildfire smoke, in the middle of a heatwave with rolling blackouts and a global pandemic.
At the most recent Ava Community Energy Board meetings and at the Community Advisory Committee, decision makers expressed interest in a resilience hub study session to learn more about these community based hubs that we have been advocating for and their roles in climate and energy resilience. This is a small step in the right direction, and we will continue to need your help to move this policy advocacy forward.
Local Clean Energy Alliance recognizes that it is important that whatever resilience hub study session takes place, community organizations need to be at the table in order to make this a community driven effort. The trusted places that we know and love in our communities are already doing incredible effective resilience work. Here is a great opportunity for Ava Community Energy to learn from experts on community-based energy and climate solutions.
