In today's power-packed episode of Climate Confident, we're diving deep into the world of renewable energy in developing nations. We're joined by an exceptional guest, William Brent, the Chief Marketing Officer of Husk Power Systems.

Will and I talk about the profound work Husk Power Systems is doing to provide affordable and reliable renewable energy to remote communities. Imagine life without electricity? That's the daily reality for millions around the world. But Husk Power Systems is changing the game. It's not just about electricity, it's about creating opportunities, enhancing lives, and uplifting communities.

A key theme we discuss is the necessity of education and energy literacy. For many, this is their first interaction with electricity as a service. Helping them understand how to make informed decisions about their consumption is vital. From the number of hours they can have lights on, to charging their phones, and more.

Will also gives a rallying call to action to young, fiery souls who are passionate about making a difference in the world. There's an urgent need for fresh, dynamic thinking to reshape the future of our energy systems. Here's a chance to be part of a movement that's impacting lives at the grassroots level. Get ready to be inspired.

And for the finance community out there, there's a powerful message. To achieve the goal of universal access to affordable and clean energy by 2030, it's crucial to increase the level of risk appetite.

Lastly, we delve into a fascinating aspect - carbon credits. How can displacing diesel and kerosene lamps with renewable electricity potentially create a new revenue stream?

It's all in this episode of Climate Confident. Will's insights are a shining beacon of hope in the quest for a cleaner, more inclusive future. So tune in, and get ready for an enlightening journey.

Until next time, stay confident!
