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
