Climable is a woman-led nonprofit in Cambridge, MA, with a mission to make climate science and clean energy understandable and actionable for everyone. Climable’s end goals are energy democracy (public participation in the energy transition) and climate resilience (improved avenues for anticipating, preparing for, and responding to climate disasters).

What We Do

EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH

Empowerment starts with reliable information. We equip individuals and communities with scientifically accurate information through our educational programs that serve a wide audience of learners.

CLEAN ENERGY ACCESSIBILITY

Accessibility for all is at the core of our work. We develop clean energy community microgrids and resilience hubs in environmental justice communities to strengthen climate resilience and justice.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

Meaningful stakeholder engagement is key to equitable progress. We bring together parties involved with the energy system, including end-users and the general public, to discuss energy solutions.

Storage at its Peak: Stored Power, Empowered Communities

Peaker plants—energy generation sources or power plants that are used at times of extremely high demand—are some of the dirtiest components of power grid.
