Hi Jane,
Thanks for sharing this. It's great to see them focusing on energy
providers too. Since many community networks also need to generate their
own electrical supply, this could be a good opportunity to leverage that
component of community connectivity as well (more on this at the DC3
session next week).
Best,
-Michael
