Remote Energy Infrastructure Initiative

Across the world, ecosystems rich in biodiversity are often deprived of the very infrastructure they need to survive. Remote conservation areas, indigenous territories, and rural communities are either left off the grid entirely or forced to accept centralized energy systems that extract more than they give. This initiative aims to change that — not just by installing renewable infrastructure, but by redesigning the rules that govern it.


We work directly with local communities to co-create clean energy systems — solar, wind, and micro-hydro — that are lightweight, modular, and rooted in the ecological rhythms and cultural protocols of place. These aren’t just drop-in technologies. They're deeply collaborative designs shaped by the people who will live with them, steward them, and ultimately own them.


But what truly sets this initiative apart is how these systems are governed.


Rather than rely on external operators or government control, we deploy a new model for community-led infrastructure governance — built using decentralized, programmable protocols. Think of it as a digitally native co-op: a system where decisions about how energy is produced, shared, and valued are made not by distant authorities, but by the community itself — through a transparent, programmable contract system often called a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization).


In practice, this means communities can:


  1. Set energy priorities that reflect spiritual and seasonal calendars

  2. Reward reforestation efforts with energy credits

  3. Share power dynamically with other communities in need

  4. Codify indigenous knowledge directly into how the infrastructure operates


Each system is part utility, part living governance framework — one that grows with the land, responds to climate stressors, and reinforces autonomy.


This is energy infrastructure not just designed to avoid harm, but to actively repair — to serve both ecological and cultural continuity. As we scale this model across bioregions and biocultural landscapes, we’re laying the groundwork for a new kind of energy grid: one that restores ecosystems, redistributes power (literally and politically), and ensures that those closest to the land are the ones who shape its future.
