Providing access to affordable energy in outlying communities requires systems and programs “to meet people where they are,” says Cooper, who did his capstone project on “The Road to Energy Equity.” Together with his wife, Cooper runs CES Utility Solutions which advises utilities and green energy developers. While their company advises and supports clients on critical energy infrastructure, “The idea of the capstone is to identify opportunities in green energy to allow underserved communities access to equitable solutions. Much of today’s push for green energy is policy-based. Political layers get in the way. Any equitable system also needs to engage the community, not talk down to them or simply offer discounts. The community should have an ownership stake of some kind in a truly equitable system.”
