Scientists are working with poorer communities worldwide to improve access to clean and safe energy sources.
, the researchers suggested that policies be developed in collaboration with residents, local councils and other relevant organizations to improve energy security for remote Indigenous communities. In addition to reducing the number of sudden disconnections during temperature extremes, the authors proposed that policymakers create more opportunities for communities to access rooftop solar.
Ruby Heard, a Djaru woman and PhD candidate exploring energy justice for remote Indigenous communities at the University of Melbourne in Victoria, hopes that Frank and Quilty’s efforts will lead to policies that enable Indigenous communities to transition to solar energy. “Everybody should have access,” says Heard, who is also director of Alinga Energy Consulting, which specializes in renewable energy solutions for remote communities.
“The programme had already shown that it had been quite successful in providing connections to people who had not been connected before,” says Shonali Pachauri, an environmental and resource economist at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Laxenburg, Austria. It wasn’t clear, however, whether households benefitting from the scheme continued to use LPG regularly over time.
