Andrea’s project explores how investments toward the cost of maintaining peaker plants could be redirected toward renewable energy generation and storage in environmental justice communities. From the onset, she knew that collaboration would be a central component of her approach. Despite pandemic-related barriers to that effort, Andrea has managed to conduct interviews and liaise with local environmental justice groups, such as UPROSE. “Any investment in these communities will come from their own visioning. I hope to speculate on scenarios that can influence those community planning processes.”
