by Chris Cook and Marcus Saul, Island Power As Research Fellows at the Institute for Strategy, Resilience and Security, at University College, London, Marcus Saul and Chris Cook researched and developed the Pacific Natural Grid resource resilience strategy. Here they explain how Denmark has led the way in creating sustainable networks of community-based energy production and distribution. This has been transformative for Denmark, enabling it to become independent from the oil and gas industry’s dominance. But it is also transformative for communities, who are now creating their own energy economies.
