| Submission declined on 22 October 2024 by Qcne (talk). This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed.

EarthSpark International is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization working to expand people's access to affordable, reliable energy. EarthSpark partners with historically underserved communities to build clean, just energy systems and businesses that empower communities in Haiti and around the world.[1]
Since 2008, EarthSpark has pioneered smart, solar microgrids,[2] piloted innovative electric cooking, and launched a microgrid development company with a local-national-international blended finance approach now backed by the Green Climate Fund.[3]
After over a decade of work demonstrating the economic and technical feasibility of microgrids–as well as their ability to reduce carbon emissions–EarthSpark International is now working on a massive project that will ultimately bring clean, renewable electricity to over 80,000 people in Haiti.[4] Most of them are among the 75 percent of Haitians, and the 1.2 billion people around the world, who live without access to electricity.[5]
The Project aims to develop 22 community-scale solar plus battery storage microgrids in southern Haiti in communities where currently no grid power exists. The Project will provide affordable and reliable 24/7 access to modern energy services in communities previously identified through extensive market scoping. This will be accompanied by technical assistance to build capacity for microgrid deployment and operation. The Project incorporates a battery storage solution, thus offering 24-hour service and a 100% renewable energy- based viable economic alternative to diesel generators.[6]
EarthSpark also supports aspiring microgrid operators to launch and operate their systems. EarthSpark's Feminist Electrification Methodology won the United Nations' "Momentum for Change[7]" award in 2018,[8] and EarthSpark's spin-off technology company, SparkMeter, is now serving utilities in 30 countries with smart metering, billing, and grid analytics hardware and software services.[9]
