Our Energy Affordability Policy Library is a centralized, searchable hub that helps communities more quickly assess, compare, and advance state and local affordability policies. We also produced a guide on choosing the right energy affordability policies for your state. One guiding question when designing policy is: Where can this policy actually move, and what will it take?

The cheapest, fastest, and safest source of energy: efficiency and optimization. We are part of a similar virtual power plant in Portland, OR where during high demand the utility company can adjust our home’s electricity use within reasonable limits, and draw from a home battery that they helped us buy. This distributed approach helps keep overall costs down, as ratepayers don’t need to foot the bill for a new power plant.

🌍 Decarbonization Depends on Funding — But Who Can Still Pay in 2025? Building a carbon-free future doesn’t just need ambition — it needs money. And that money must flow reliably across borders: for infrastructure, R&D, and clean tech deployment. ⚠️ But here’s the challenge: In 2025, 57 countries face high risk of non-payment in the short term due to growing economic instability and geopolitical tensions. 🔍 Global Risk Landscape (Allianz, Q2 2025): ▪️ 🔴 High Risk: 57 countries — including Iran, Venezuela, Russia ▪️ 🟠 Sensitive Risk: 41 countries ▪️ 🟡 Medium Risk: 45 countries ▪️ 🟢 Low Risk: 90 countries — incl. U.S., China, GCC nations, much of Europe 💥 What this means for climate goals? 1️⃣ Cross-border funding may stall, especially in emerging economies. 2️⃣ Supply chains for clean energy could be disrupted. 3️⃣ Trade finance for low-carbon tech may tighten. 4️⃣ Risk premiums rise, slowing private investment in clean projects. We must concienciate ourselves!!! 🌱 Climate action is a global effort — but capital flows aren’t immune to geopolitics. For decarbonization to stay on track, we’ll need more resilient financing models, public-private guarantees, and better global risk-sharing mechanisms. 💬 How can we de-risk climate investments in the most vulnerable countries? #Decarbonization #ClimateFinance #GlobalRisk #Sustainability #GreenTransition #2025Outlook #Infrastructure #CleanEnergy #ESG #ClimateAction #ResilientEconomies #AllianzRiskMap

🎥 Women at the Center of Africa’s Energy Transition: Why Policy Can’t Be Gender-Blind At WEN-Africa, we believe energy policies must do more than power homes, they must empower people. Especially women. This short video captures what we stand for. From local innovators to utility leaders, women are driving Africa’s energy transition in ways that are often unseen, yet deeply impactful. When policies fail to consider gender, they fail to reach the communities most affected by energy poverty. That’s why WEN-Africa continues to work with partners across the continent to center women's voices in strategy, implementation, and governance. Watch. Share.
