A new review conducted by scholars at Duke University, NC State University, and the University of Michigan calls for deeper examination of women’s role in energy decisions.

In this episode of the Ways & Means podcast from the Sanford School of Public Policy, experts working with the James E. Rogers Energy Access Project at Duke University discuss new research into how solar mini-grids could change lives for farmers in Ethiopia, and why that matters for the climate as a whole.

Marc Jeuland (Sanford School of Public Policy) and Kyle Bradbury (Nicholas Institute) spoke to the Sanford School's Policy 360 podcast about how artificial worlds can improve access to energy data and satellites and AI can track climate change.

The Energy Access Project at Duke has received a new gift from M.A. Rogers to boost its work developing sustainable energy policy and market solutions in emerging economies. The organization was established in 2017 through an earlier gift from Rogers and her late husband Jim, the former CEO and chairman of the board of Duke Energy. It will adopt a new name in Jim’s memory: the James E. Rogers Energy Access Project at Duke.

Technologies like geospatial imagery, machine learning and affordable batteries are generating ever more innovative ways to target customers with off-grid energy solutions. But according to analysts at the Duke University Energy Access Project, public policy is struggling to keep up with these rapid-fire developments, leaving vast amounts of human capacity and productivity untapped.
