Transition Towns, Conversion Cities

Relocalization and greening of your community's energy supply offers an unprecedented opportunity to improve local energy security when the grid fails, and reduced exposure to increasingly volatile fossil-fueled power prices.

Localizing power is also key to reducing strains on existing power grids. Local upgrades of Distributed Energy Resources installed in buildings build energy resilience from the ground up, focusing investment on homes and businesses rather than costly grid expansions.
