Power infrastructure that makes a difference.

Back in 2015, I agreed to embark on the unpredictable, emotional, and slightly insane ride that is entrepreneurship, convinced by the indomitable Steph Speirs that we could build an organization that looked and felt different and operated from a set of deeply held values. Now, nearly ten years later, I'm taking over as CEO. While the moment is bittersweet, I couldn't be more excited about what lies ahead for Solstice. Equity in clean energy, something for which we have fought from the beginning and is core to Solstice's DNA, is not just an afterthought anymore - it's now baked into policy with the passage of the IRA and increasingly a requirement in state-level community solar programs. This recent story from one of our community partners, Vee Likes, Development Director for Kenwood-Oakland Community Organization (https://kocoonline.org/), demonstrates the impact affordable and accessible clean energy can have on communities: “More than 60-70% of our members are renters, many are seniors, and almost all are rent-burdened and struggling with issues associated with living in close proximity to the fossil fuel industry and traffic-induced pollution. These communities do not have the type of investments they should in economic opportunities. Many are aware of what solar is, but actually understanding what community solar is and does for them, is not common. Our partnership with Solstice plays a strong part in educating communities. You don’t have to own a house to benefit from clean energy...folks are reminding us that they have the fundamental right to have equitable access and participation in the new clean energy economy here in Illinois.” I'm incredibly proud of stories like this, our team, the culture we have created, and the impact we have had. It wouldn't have been possible without Steph at the helm, and I will be forever grateful for her partnership throughout this wild journey. As Solstice’s CEO, I will drive forward the mission to bring clean energy to every community while treating our customers and partners with care and integrity. I feel tremendous gratitude for how far we’ve come and am looking forward to Solstice’s next chapter. Sandhya Murali Co-founder & CEO, Solstice

𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬 Construction of 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝'𝐬 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐚 𝐁𝐮𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐃𝐒𝐁) has granted approval for the establishment of an 𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐚 𝐛𝐮𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 at Fjord Base in Florø, paving the way for a groundbreaking project by 𝐘𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐚, a subsidiary of Yara International, alongside Azane, a Norwegian ammonia bunkering startup, and Fjord Base, a Norwegian supply base. This milestone permit signals a significant step toward promoting ammonia as a safe and low-emission alternative to conventional shipping fuels. 𝐘𝐚𝐫𝐚 expressed that while there has been substantial interest in ammonia as a decarbonized shipping fuel, the lack of infrastructure for the final leg of the journey, from production plants to vessels, has been a challenge. The planned terminal, comprising a floating stationary barge with a capacity of 1000 cubic meters of low-emission ammonia, is set to accommodate up to 416 operations annually, with a focus on bunkering operations for offshore supply vessels frequenting Fjord Base in Florø. With the approval secured, 𝐘𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐚, Azane, and Fjord Base are poised to collaborate with project partners to obtain a local municipality permit before making a final investment decision (FID), signaling promising progress in the transition towards sustainable maritime fuel solutions. #Norway #ammonia #bunkering #shipping #alternativefuels #YaraInternational #FjordBase #sustainability #maritimeindustry NC: Offshore Energy

📚#Sustainable: Modern mining at Fortuna Silver means collaboration, transparency, open communication and effective interaction with all stakeholders.🤝 As a representation of these Fortuna Silver commitments, let’s take a look at The Ocotlán Grey Water Treatment Plant: 💧When designing San Jose Mine in Oaxaca, Mexico, we recognized that sourcing water presented a significant challenge in a region facing water stress 💧In 2008, an alternative to unsustainable well and river water extraction was identified in Ocotlán de Morelos, a community of about 23,750 people situated 15 km from the mine 💧This alternative water source was an idle greywater treatment plant, which, due to lack of maintenance, was causing serious environmental and public health issues 💧In 2010, Fortuna signed a 15-year renewable agreement with the Municipality of Ocotlán to refurbish & operate the plant in exchange for use of residual greywater at San Jose Mine 💧This initiative benefits the mine, the environment & community stakeholders and aligns with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal #6 – Clean Water and Sanitation The Ocotlán Grey Water Treatment Plant project serves as an example of how corporate social responsibility, when integrated throughout an organization, can lead to long-term social, economic and environmental benefits for local communities.🌎 Learn more about our #sustainability efforts right here! ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gtcJVsMe #MiningWithPrideAndPurpose
