Sunset for Carbon

Scientists now agree that a virtual replacement of our energy system is required to avert catastrophic changes in the Earth's climate. While many are focused on greening the existing power supply with green mega-projects like wind farms and massive new transmission lines to connect them to cities, the climate benefits of such plans are limited by intermittency. Local power is the key to reducing a City's carbon footprint.


Local Power uniquely recognizes the singular importance of relocalization and demand reduction to achieve meaningful carbon reductions in the power sector. Call us today to get an estimate of how you can move beyond fossil-fueled "fires and wires" with a transition to reliable, affordable, clean and local resources.   Local Power can design the energy system your community would like to roll out — bringing to the near term an energy mix that might seem impossible to buy or too futuristic to consider with conventional market players. The key is using the right tools: low-cost financing, intelligent design, and well managed assets.
