On #IEEEPELSDay, we celebrate the IEEE Power Electronics Society and the engineers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and volunteers advancing technologies that power our world, and expand access to energy for communities everywhere. One inspiring example is IEEE Empower a Billion Lives (EBL), a donor-supported IEEE PELS initiative that brings together innovators from around the globe to develop scalable, sustainable, and economically viable energy access solutions. Through global competitions and collaboration, EBL helps accelerate technologies and business models designed to bring reliable electricity to underserved communities worldwide. From powering schools and healthcare systems to creating new opportunities for education and economic growth, access to energy can transform lives. Thanks to the generosity of donors and supporters, programs like EBL continue to empower innovators working to address one of the world’s most pressing global challenges. #EnergyAccess #EngineeringForHumanity
