Power On Winner of the Junior Academy Challenge – Spring 2022: “Flexible Use of Electricity” (https://www.nyas.org/news-articles/academy-news/power-on/?mc_cid=9d1c7dac24&mc_eid=UNIQID)
For this Junior Academy challenge on Flexible Use of Electricity, the five Power On team members chose to address a thorny issue: the energy deficit in the Philippines, where electricity demand is growing rapidly, and supply falls short of demand– leaving close to 30% of the population without electricity or facing significant fluctuations in electricity supply known as brownouts. Constraints on access to power are especially acute in rural areas and on the country’s numerous islands.
