Community Solutions Initiative

The Community Solutions Initiative (CSI) is a not-for-profit member group of the IEEE Power & Energy Society. CSI is committed to the open-source design and eventual delivery of energy solutions to the world’s poorest and most energy-deprived populations.

CSI members are all volunteers, dedicated professionals who sense a unique opportunity in history to help eradicate global poverty. We all work pro-bono and our only expenses paid by IEEE are for a collaboration website. Many are practicing engineers; some are educators, professors, managers, business owners, members of boards, doctors, entrepreneurs, CEOs, and heads of NGOs with experience in developing countries.

CSI is always looking for the best and brighest to join in this project to impact the world. Learn more about CSI here.
